About Newark Hill Primary Academy

Newark Hill is a two form entry, primary school located in the north of Peterborough. There are approximately 450 children on roll (from reception to Y6). Diversity is at the heart of their community and curriculum. Their three values of respect, resilience and responsibility are ingrained in everything they do.

The level of purposeful engagement of every child at playtime is awe-inspiring.
