    Our School

    Guru Nanak Sikh Academy has a history of excellence and our vision is that GNSA Sixth Form students will be well-rounded, intellectually, socially and emotionally.

    Our students will 'Acquire' the knowledge and skills that will allow them to 'Achieve' success in life, work and learning to be able to flourish and serve our society and ultimately go on to do what they  'Aspire' to do.'

    Parents, teachers and leaders make a vital contribution to Sixth Form student’s achievements and I want to develop this relationship between the school and parents for everyone’s benefit.

    Supported by our Vision and  SHARE values our aim is to help the development of young people in our Sixth Form so that they come to regard themselves as key members of an exciting and progressive school community. By utilising the excellent resources provided by the school, our students are able to realise their aspirations, ultimately to become citizens who contribute to their profession and to humanity.
