In 1999 the school was awarded voluntary aided status and grant for the new build.

The College steadily gained in reputation as a centre of educational excellence with pupils who were well motivated, disciplined and responsible.

The official opening of the new building for 

Guru Nanak Sikh Primary School

Since then Guru Nanak Sikh School has been one of the most popular choices for parents with a waiting list of more than 300 pupils.

The Secondary School’s status as an Academy was confirmed. We now have over 1500 pupils across the academy.

Subsequently, following being judged as an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted school in 2012, Guru Nanak Sikh Academy was incorporated into an Academy Trust.

To support the parents and high demand for places Nanaksar Primary School opened and forms part of the Guru Nanak Sikh Multi Academy Trust.

A brand new building for Nanaksar Primary School opened, including state of the art facilities and a spacious and nurturing learning environment for all pupils.

Outstanding: Behaviour and Attitudes

'Leaders encourage pupils to adopt the school’s values and contribute to the school community. These values include helping others, being respectful and valuing individual differences.'

In July 2024, we had our Section 48 inspection, which resulted in an outstanding report.

'Skilled teaching approaches supported pupils in learning about the Sikh faith in the context of British values, and afforded students time to think and reflect upon making links across key issues like poverty, prejudice and identity.'
