Inspiration Pathway

Diamond Academy is the sister school of Thetford Academy, which is also part of Inspiration Trust’s family of schools.

We will be working closely with its Principal on the transition of our pupils to Thetford Academy to facilitate taster days. Similarly to Thetford Academy, Diamond Academy teaches its pupils a follow-on curriculum that prepares them for their bright futures.

Thetford Academy is a school at the academic and cultural heart of our community. Teaching students a curriculum that provides them with a thorough understanding of the world in which we live, an appreciation of what is amazing and beautiful, and preparation for the challenges we face.

Students are encouraged to try a range of cultural pursuits in sports, crafts and the creative arts, enabling them to develop a set of values and habits that allow them to contribute to the community in Thetford, and beyond.

Students are taught to be polite, considerate, hardworking and disciplined, alongside excellent academic and pastoral support. Thetford Academy is a large school with a ‘small-school’ ethos where each child is supported and valued as an individual.

Students at Thetford Academy study a rich curriculum covering a range of academic disciplines, creative and performing arts, and technical and vocational subjects.

All of these subjects are taught by our knowledgeable and enthusiastic teachers who work hard to bring their subject to life.

Extra-curricular activities are a key part of life at Thetford Academy and, through our Enrichment Programme, all students participate in clubs on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays enabling our students to pursue their passions and interests.

In addition to their PE lessons, all students can choose to participate in sports clubs, including football, rugby, netball, basketball, table tennis and more.

Performing arts provision is very strong at Thetford Academy. In addition to curriculum lessons, all students have the opportunity to join performing arts clubs including choirs, bands, instrumental groups, cheerleading, dance and school productions.

In addition to sports and performing arts, the school facilitates a wide array of hobbies including archaeology, chess, gardening, mindfulness and sign language to name a few. There is a club that will be of interest to everyone.
