About us
Located within Walker Activity Dome, Northern Edge Academy is part of Northern Edge Sports Ltd (CIO). We are unique as an Alternative Education Provision with our range of accessible sports we provide. With state of the art facilities, including the North Easts only roller skating/hockey rink, along with Football (indoor and outdoor), Table tennis club, squash courts and more, allowing our pupils to have a diverse provision in sport, very much focusing on the non main stream sports, which generally have barriers to participation, such as facility, equipment, coach instruction and cost...but we overcome this barrier, as have this all on site!
We use a powerful combination of sport, learning and mentoring to support young people.
We are registered with the exam board AQA, and The Unit Award Scheme (UAS) allows all students to engage with learning and have their achievements formally recognised.
How to access
We are located in Walker Activity Dome, Newcastle, as a face to face provision.
How we deliver
Our day starts at 9.15am and completes by 2pm. A typical day will include up to 3 hours, split across of the day of sporting activity. Students will also access a one hour classroom based lesson working on AQA Unit award scheme work, with an additional 30 min PSHE focused lesson. Our operating days are Mon-Thurs.
How we report attendance
We ensure daily attendance reporting by promptly notifying all relevant parties associated with each pupil. Additionally, we maintain a secure register, accessible upon request by parents/caregivers or home schools for transparent record-keeping.
