Welcome to Neighbours' Hub, your go-to place for information and key updates from Carew Academy

Carew Academy is committed to realising the potential of our students and we work together with staff, parents/carers and the local community to ensure they achieve their very best in their local communities.

However, we also realise that sometimes activities taking place on the school site may have an impact on those living close by and so we will endeavour to keep you informed of what is happening via Carew Academy’s Neighbours’ Hub.

Community projects

  • From May 2025, Students from our Skills for Work pathway, as part of their Duke Of Edinburgh Bronze Award, started their Community Clean-Up project by litter picking along Headley, Merebank and Godalming roads as well as the community park that borders the school playground area. Students removed two bin liners full of rubbish and will continue to make regular litter picking visits to these areas.
  • For 11th November 2025 we are planning for a joint Highview School and Carew Academy Remembrance Day service at 11am. All staff and students from both schools will attend a service and hear the last post played as we recognise the service given by our fallen heroes. We very much hope many residents will come out and join the service which will be held on the Sheen Way playing fields.

Community use of school facilities

Carew Academy is committed to providing outstanding educational opportunities for all our pupils, students and apprentices. Part of this commitment is providing a range of excellent facilities that are primarily resourced for our pupils and students. As a community-focussed organisation, and where it is practical, appropriate and reasonable to do so, these facilities may be made available for use by the local community or by organisations that support and contribute to the ethos of the organisation.
