Introducing: Quest Academy

Below we hear from a new Warwickshire school, Quest Academy:

Quest Academy opens in September 2017. A sister school to Discovery Academy, Quest is a part of MacIntyre Academies Trust and will eventually be based in Rugby for children and young people with autism and or social emotional and mental health needs aged 9 -19. (The school will be in temporary accommodation for its first year of opening – based in Nuneaton.)

Nicola Wells, Principal of Quest Academy, has been in post since January 2017 to set up the new free school which opens with 30 pupils and will grow to 80 at full capacity in a few years. She has worked closely already with new pupils and their families to get their input from the beginning to shape the vision and culture of the school.

Nicola relocated from Sussex to set up Quest Academy and brings a wealth of experience over the past 30 years of teaching and leading in both mainstream and specialist settings. She is passionate about personalised learning and blended therapies to ensure an integrated and holistic approach to education. Her enthusiasm is shared with a skilled and experienced staff team who are all excited about Quest Academy becoming a school that works for families and makes a real difference in the lives of children and young people.
