Outwood Academy Newbold isn’t your average academy; we’re a hub of innovation right in the heart of Chesterfield. As a team, we specialise in thinking outside of the box when it comes to tactics and ways to achieve goals on match day! Our role as a Champion Org is to help spread our knowledge and help with any of the technical aspects behind the scenes – we’re looking at you, VuForia! We are really keen to get stuck into helping the newer teams next season.
Our ambition is to help spread the joys of STEM, but to also help build relations with schools and industry around the Yorkshire/Derbyshire region, as we have a lot of STEM businesses that are always looking for the next generation of innovators!
