Until 2012 Newmarket schools operate
on a three tier school system.
.
Local Primary schools include All Saints, St Louis, Ditton Lodge,
Laureate and Paddocks. Newmarket has two Middle Schools, St Felix
and Scaltback, and one College and Sixth Form.
We are proud to say that all our local schools aim to teach at the
highest level and form a great social basis for the children. All
schools have a large variety of after school clubs.
To give a more detailed insight into our local schools, we have
invited Newmarket College to list their aims:-
At Newmarket College we believe in Growing Success for young people.
We prepare and equip our students for life, employment and careers
in the 21st Century. Our aim is to provide students with the opportunities
and support to be successful. We have developed a vibrant and relevant
curriculum at GCSE and in the Forest Heath 6th Form, in partnership
with Mildenhall College of Technology. We have widely recognised
excellent teaching and learning in traditional subjects, especially
in English, History and Geography through their leadership of our
Humanities specialism; but young people can also choose to study
subjects such as catering, engineering, dance, photography, fashion,
construction and horse care in our wide range of options.
We are a good and improving school and one of the most important
areas that we are building is the sense of ownership, participation
and leadership amongst our young people. Our watchword is I Belong.
We take great pride in the contributions that our students make
to the Newmarket Community and beyond. There is a tradition of charity
fundraising for local, regional and international good causes. Ranging
from £1,000 raised in a single concert for a local hospice,
to young people travelling to Malawi and Morocco to refurbish primary
schools. Our students take a leading role in local democracy through
the Town Youth Council and the Forest Heath Young Peoples’
Forum. Do come and see and share in the music and drama performances
of the young people of Newmarket at the College. They are spectacular!
We are Newmarket’s secondary school. Our school. Your school.
We are a good school and getting better.
