What GURU NANAK SIKH ACADEMY LIMITED does

Guru Nanak Sikh Academy Limited is a UK state-funded all-through Sikh faith school (Company Registration No: 07416734) operating from a single site at Springfield Road, Hayes, Middlesex, within the London Borough of Hillingdon on the border with the London Borough of Ealing. The academy delivers continuous education across three phases: Primary (ages 5–11, Reception through Year 6), Secondary (ages 11–16, Years 7–11), and Sixth Form (Post-16, A-Level), supported by a planned Nursery provision rescheduled to open in January 2026. Curriculum spans Early Years Foundation Stage through Key Stage 5, with subject offerings including Mathematics, English, Sciences, Punjabi, Gurmat, Sikh Studies, PSHE/Life Studies, Economics, Government and Politics, Psychology, and Sociology at A-Level. The ethos is built on SHARE values (Service/Seva, Humility/Nimrata, Achievement/Prapti, Respect/Adar, Equality/Saman), grounded in the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib and the school's founder Baba Amar Singh Ji.

The academy is operated under the Guru Nanak Sikh Multi Academy Trust (GNSMAT) and employs between 51 and 100 staff. Its technology stack is composed entirely of third-party off-the-shelf educational platforms: Bromcom (Student Information System), ClassCharts (behaviour management), Tootoot (pupil safeguarding reporting), My Child At School / MCAS (parent communication), SchoolCloud (parents evening booking), and Google Sites (staff and pupil portals). There is no proprietary technology, no proprietary AI models, and no public API or developer platform.

Revenue is generated principally through per-pupil UK government grants under the academies funding framework, with no tuition fees charged for mainstream education. Supplementary revenue streams include school meals, the Lion Heart Leaders extracurricular programme, and facilities hire via SchoolHire. The school pursues external accreditation (Artsmark Gold, Eco Schools Green Flag, Rainbow Flag Award, Duke of Edinburgh Award, Wellbeing Award for Schools, Primary Science Quality Mark, Quality In Careers Standard, TfL Travel GOLD, Anti-Bullying Ambassador Programme, and the in-progress EPDA) as a positioning and parent-procurement signal. Distribution is direct via the admissions process, managed through London Borough of Hillingdon's eAdmissions for Primary and the school's own Supplementary Information Form for Secondary and Sixth Form intake.
