headteacher MESSAGE

On behalf of our governors, our staff and our pupils it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Joseph Norton Academy website. Our website is very important to us. We use it to celebrate the fantastic work that goes on at our school and to share important information about our policies, practice and procedures.

We are extremely proud of our school. We provide a happy, safe and secure environment where learning is enjoyable and teaching is shaped by the needs and interests of our pupils. If you require any more information, please get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.

our team

 At Joseph Norton we believe that every child deserves the best possible education to enable them to make good progress and realise their potential.

As a team we want every child to leave school having developed a love of learning and with the skills and self-confidence needed to help them succeed in further education, training, employment and post-school life.

We aim to build partnerships with parents, carers and children that are based on honesty, trust and mutual respect with the purpose of supporting the academic, vocational, personal and emotional development of our pupils.

our Beautiful setting

Nestled between the villages of Scissett and Skelmanthorpe, our school is set in approximately six acres of attractive grounds.

Beautiful in winter and summer alike, we value our rural location and enjoy the 'great outdoors' whenever we are able.  For visitors, our school is easily accessible from Huddersfield, Wakefield, Leeds and Barnsley, with good rail and road links, including easy access to the M1, A1(M) and M62.
