Small School With A Big Heart Provides A Great Start

Fishtoft Academy, fondly known as the ‘small school with a big heart’, is located in the village’s Gaysfield Road and prides itself on being a friendly, family-orientated academy.

As any visitor will testify, the school possesses an exceptional atmosphere which encourages the important quality of ambition within all of its pupils.

The high staff to pupil ratio at Fishtoft Academy means that all children are known and valued as unique individuals. They are provided with high levels of support and challenge in order to ensure the best possible outcomes for them – an approach which is working very well for the academy, as evidenced by the fact that twice within the last five years the school has been in the top 3% of schools nationally for pupil progress measures at Key Stage 2.
