About Us
Outwood Academy Normanby officially opened on the 1 September 2019, replacing the predecessor Hillsview Academy. This new website was set up last term to provide key information to parents during June and July 2019, to help with the changeover. Over the coming weeks the website will have additional pages and information added.
Our innovative vertical curriculum centres on three-year GCSEs, allowing students to take control of their own learning. The most capable and ambitious can benefit from fast-track opportunities and workshops to accelerate their progress, whilst others enjoy the time they need to succeed via an extended study timescale. Valuing vocational, practical, creative and academic ability equally, we ensure that no child is ever left behind.
Why not come and visit, and see our fantastic students and staff at work? You are welcome any time.
Principal: Andrew Wappat NLE

‘Word of the Week’ will form part of the Academy’s ongoing strategy to improve students’ literacy. Students are being taught the importance of language and the need for a good vocabulary, both for their school work and as an essential life skill. There will be an Academy WOW each week, displayed around school and on the website, and its use will be reinforced by VMG tutors and in school assemblies. The word is designed to make students confident in their use of a range of complex words and their meanings, in a drive to improve student articulacy to even higher levels.
“As vocabulary is reduced, so are the number of feelings you can express, the number of events you can describe, the number of the things you can identify. Man grows by language.” – Sheri S. Tepper
