I would like to warmly welcome you to the Bilsthorpe Flying High Academy website.

Our website is designed to provide parents, carers, families, stakeholders and prospective families with a wealth of information about our school, while also giving a true sense of our culture and ethos. Bilsthorpe Flying High Academy is a nurturing, ambitious community and one that I am incredibly proud to lead as Headteacher.

At our school, every child is safe, valued and encouraged to succeed. Equality, inclusion and wellbeing sit at the heart of everything we do, ensuring all children feel a strong sense of belonging.

Our ethos is driven by our Bilsthorpe BEST values:
Be Responsible

Be Respectful

Be Aspirational

Be Resilient

These are not just words—they are lived and celebrated each day, shaping confident learners who are ready to embrace challenges and take pride in their achievements.

Our dedicated team is committed to delivering the very best education for every child. We have high expectations for all and inspire our pupils to be curious, motivated and determined to succeed.

As part of the Flying High Trust, we benefit from strong collaboration, shared expertise and a collective commitment to excellence. This ensures we continue to grow and provide the very best opportunities for both our children and staff.

Our curriculum is designed to develop confident, well-rounded individuals who are fully prepared for the next stage of their journey. Guided by our mission, “Look forward with pride and back with confidence,” we aim to instil a lifelong love of learning and a deep sense of aspiration in every child.

It is a privilege to lead Bilsthorpe Flying High Academy. I am proud of our inclusive community and the unique character of our school.
