Why Ad Meliora Academy Trust?
Choosing the right academy or school for your child is a really important decision to make. Parents know their child best, and it is important to find a school that has similar values and ethos that are aligned to your own.
Why choose us?
The Ad Meliora Academy Trust is a small Trust in King’s Lynn and North Norfolk. Trust Directors have consciously decided to keep the Trust on a small scale so that we can provide quick and individual support for our academies – Blenheim Park Academy, Greenpark Academy and Reffley Academy.
Blenheim Park is a small, rural, village school for 4-11 year olds. There is a strong ‘family feel’ to the academy with plenty of opportunities for the children to learn and play together. Learning in smaller classes helps to develop family values and children learn to care for and respect each other. We have mixed-aged classes at Blenheim, this helps teachers, children, parents and carers to build close relationships - build trust and feel safe.
The academy has a high adult to child ratio with small classes with a teacher and teaching assistant allocated to each class.
The academy is situated in beautiful grounds on the edge of Blenheim Park.
The academy is in partnership with Greenpark Academy in King’s Lynn. This partnership enables us to provide a broad range of additional support for pupils and families.
Blenheim Park has high Key Stage 2 academic outcomes and was rated as a ‘good’ school by Ofsted in January 2024.

Greenpark is a larger sized academy in the centre of North Lynn for 3-11 year olds. The academy is newly built, vibrant and busy. Restorative Approaches are embedded in all areas of the academy life. Pupils are taught how to take ownership for their choices and to put things right when things go wrong. This is an essential skill to have in childhood and in adult life.
There are effective systems in place to support all pupils with their learning and social and emotional needs. The academy has a large and highly skilled pastoral team who support pupils and families with areas of need.
We have an academy allotment where pupils have Forest Schools as part of their curriculum. Pupils love our allotment and the opportunities they have during Forest school.
We have our own highly rated Nursery at Greenpark for pupils from the age of 3. The Nursery is situated in a new building that is separate from the main school. Pupils who move on to our Reception Class are ‘school ready’ and make good progress.
The academy is situated next to LynnSport. We are fortunate to be able to use the sporting facilities, equipment and clubs at LynnSport to enhance our Physical Education Curriculum.
Academic aspirations are high, pupils at Greenpark make accelerated progress from their starting points. Ofsted rated the school as ‘good’ in September 2023.

Reffley Academy is a large primary school for 3-11 year olds, situated in the middle of the Reffley Estate in King’s Lynn.
It is an energetic and dynamic academy with 5 core values that are embedded throughout the curriculum (cooperation, curiosity, ambition, respect and resilience).
Like Greenpark, there is a well-established and effective pastoral team who provide support and a listening ear for pupils and families in their time of need.
As a result of the work that has taken place with supporting pupils to behave well, the academy has been awarded a Specialist Resource Base for pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. As part of this, we work with pupils and teachers from other schools and academies in West Norfolk.
At Reffley Academy, there is a strong focus on clubs and sports. Pupils have many opportunities to compete in a range of local tournaments. Sports provision is a strength.
We have an effective Nursery within the academy building for pupils from 3-4 years old. Pupils who move on to our Reception Class are ‘school ready’ and make good progress.
Reffley Academy has high Key Stage 2 academic outcomes and was rated as a ‘good’ school by Ofsted in March 2022.
