Welcome to New Rickstones Academy
At New Rickstones we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to have a life that can be described as good quality, free from fear and danger where they can give and receive respect to and from others with a sense of wellbeing, belonging, worth and achievement. Individuals are supported to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need for their future success. The Academy has a diverse and vigorous programme of extra curricular activities. We encourage students to participate in these activities as we believe that this helps them form extended friendship groups, develop a wider range of interests and develop skills which they can use to support their learning and in their future careers.
We would be delighted for you to visit the Academy, education is very different now to when you were at school, so call in and see us, take a walk around our lovely new school and see how modern technology is used to enhance learning, how the students are made aware that they are part of the global society and what learning looks like today. You never know you may even want to return yourself.

New Rickstones Academy was showered with a bit of celebrity sparkle when TV Presenter, Ben Shires spent the day at the school on Thursday 17th May. A popular presenter on channel 4, BBC3 and Channel Dave, students were delighted to welcome the star who has recently worked with celebrities such as James Corden, Jo Brand and Paddy McGuinness (to name a few).
Ben spent the day with a variety of classes, including an enthusiastic group of Year 7s, who transformed their school ties into bow ties to emulate the presenter’s own fashion sense. A group of sixth form students, studying performing arts, got an excellent insight into the showbiz world with Ben revealing the inside to his career success and offering lots of helpful advice.
Ben is also well-known for his podcast ‘The Dave Weekly’ for channel Dave, in which he has interviewed an array of high-profile comedians, and has just recently won a prestigious iTunes award for the show. He shared tips about the podcast production and worked with a Year 8 class to create their own media piece. At the end of the day he also found time to discuss his recent successes with a large group of Year 10 students in the school library and allowed time for photos and autographs. Students were very appreciative of his appearance and all at New Rickstones hope to see him back here very soon!
