What is NEA?
28th April 2023
New Era Academy (NEA) is a UK-based regulatory awarding board that offers graded examinations covering a broad range of disciplines across the Communications and Performance Exam streams.
NEA provide a varied, robust, and innovative range of syllabi tiered over 4 entry levels and 8 Grades suitable for all learning abilities and creative potential. New Era Academy’s Level 3 exams (Grades 6, 7, and 8) are also accredited with UCAS and are eligible for UCAS points toward UK university entrance.
Our KS2 students take part in Solo Verse Speaking Foundation Level, Grade 1 and 2 and the Medal level, l Grade 3.
This gives them the opportunity to:
- Develop the art of speaking verse;
- Develop clear speech;
- Develop imagination and creativity;
- Increase self-confidence;
- Stimulate research skills;
- Understand the diverse forms of poetry.
With this year’s exams having just been concluded virtually by our KS 2 students, we wish them all the best after weeks of hard work in learning and finally presenting their poems to the NEA examinations board.
