From the David Nieper Academy
The David Nieper Academy accepts applications from kids between the ages of 11 and 18. While we are an inclusive and non-selective school, we do expect all of our students to set high goals, work hard, and take pride in their accomplishments. Our entire structure was constructed with usability in mind, and we moved into the new facilities in February 2017. There are dedicated areas for each of our faculties Maths, English and Languages, Humanities, Technology, Science, Creative to help students gain the most from their studies. Using its performance stage, the centre hall will host Academy gatherings and events as well as plays, concerts, and other productions. We believe that a rounded education includes co-curricular activities, so students can enjoy drama and dance in our dedicated studies as well as sporting activities for which new pitches have been prepared. Sports like football, hockey, cricket, and netball are among them. If, as a parent/carer of a student attending this academy, you require a paper copy of the information on this website, we shall provide this free of charge. Please submit your request at [email protected] or at the front desk.
