Every student deserves success, and our mission is to develop learners who are responsible, resilient, and ready to learn within a safe and caring environment. We want the absolute best for our students, and importantly, we want them to want that too. Every child matters at New Mills School and our mission is to ensure that every child moves on to an appropriate next step on their academic pathway, empowered with knowledge, a thirst for learning, and with the confidence to always do the right thing with kindness, empathy and respect.
Exam Information
The school's policy is based upon the recognition that for the vast majority of students the acquisition of a certificate of performance is an important part of their educational objectives.
Library
Welcome to New Mills School Library. Our library itself is situated inside a beautiful domed building. The educative scenes depicted on the outstanding stained-glass windows are the very foundation of our library policy. We encourage students to read for pleasure and information, and have worked hard to update our stocks of fiction and non-fiction to facilitate this
