Demetae Academy

Independent School for 3-16 year olds in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire. In an ever changing world we create a curriculum that suits your child.

Demetae Academy is the first Independent, Progressive School in Staffordshire for children aged 4-11. We believe that all children deserve an education and curriculum that fits their needs. Our new school is set within a beautiful, fully refurbished house that in a previous life was a hotel. This building gives our children perfect backdrop and setting for them to flourish and develop whilst they

embark on their educational journey. Class sizes are no bigger than 10 children, which allows for engaged and focused learning, both in and outside of the classroom, with the school initially taking no more than 40 children in total. At Demetae Academy we believe childhood should be protected and encouraged with nurture and well-being at the heart of everything we do, the talents your child has will be celebrated daily. The key to our learning style is independence, where children are taught how to think not what to think, in a culture of self-directed learning where curiosity and innovation are the key to academic achievement and discovery. We will encourage a love of our surroundings, the environment and each other, whilst creating resilient learners who are prepared for life in an ever-changing world. Demetae Academy will be rich with individuality, excitement and encouragement. Our aim is for every child who attends Demetae Academy to have a truly unique and engaging learning experience and as they continue their life journey, they will use the skills and knowledge they have gained that will lead them on a pathway to a life of success. It is our belief that not one day can be wasted in a child's education, so if your child is a high flyer, struggles with the constraints of a traditional school or would just thrive in a creative learning environment that promotes individuality, then Demetae Academy is for you! Having been inspired by the Montessori approach to education, we incorporate some of these theories and practices into our school but also believe in certain forms of traditional education for structure and routine, so we believe we have managed to find the ideal blend of these practices to give your child the education they deserve and are entitled to. For further information or if you have any questions please contact us at:
[email protected] or via messenger. At Demetae Academy we welcome EVERY child and our Headteacher would be more than happy to arrange a one to one meeting with you and your child.

Our Y7’s went to the charity shops in Newcastle today.

They each had £10 to spend on clothing and accessories to ‘upcycle’ to create new outfits.

As part of our ‘Sustainability’ topic, we’ve looked at fast fashion and how we can budget wisely using financial literacy and to stop old clothes going to landfill.

What a fabulous morning Epidii have had!

Meet our new additions in egg form! 🥚

Mary gave all the class the lowdown on how to look after our unhatched chicks!

They have learnt so much already!

Did you know? The Egyptians used slaves to keep fertilised eggs at body temperature by putting them under their armpits for 21 days!

Epidii's eggs also need to be at 37.5°C for 21 days. Their due date is Monday 22nd June if they have been fertilised 🐣Mary has given Epidii a candler light to place each egg on, which they can use to check for an embryo inside.

The children can't wait to use their enquiry skills to observe the eggs over the next few weeks!!
