Welcome to Beacon Academy

Beacon Academy is a thriving 11-16 academy in the heart of our Cleethorpes community. As Principal, I am both proud and privileged to lead a school where we provide a transformative education that empowers every student to confidently shape their own destiny.

An Exceptional Environment for Learning

It is an especially exciting time to join the academy, given the phenomenal investment in our future. The completion of our new £20 million building brings state-of-the-art facilities to the young people of Cleethorpes and the surrounding area. These specialist areas provide an exceptional environment in which to learn and thrive, reflecting our commitment to providing our students with the very best resources and opportunities.

The Beacon Way: A Personal Approach to Excellence

Our ethos is built on the belief that every student must be known, valued, and understood as an individual. We combine the high standards of a leading secondary school with the care and connection of a close-knit community. At Beacon Academy, we ensure that our levels of support are matched by high levels of challenge, creating a safe and inclusive environment where potential is ignited and success is celebrated.

We operate with a commitment to 100% kindness and 100% consistency in all that we do. Whether you are a student, a parent, or a member of our staff, you are part of a community that values stability, mutual respect, and the ‘Superstar’ potential within everyone.

Our Core Values: Enlighten, Inspire, Innovate

We simplify our high expectations through three guiding pillars that define our daily work:

• Enlighten: We provide a broad, traditional curriculum that expands horizons and fosters intellectual curiosity.
• Inspire: We nurture talents and spark a passion for learning through engaging experiences, residential visits, and positive role models.
• Innovate: We embrace progress and creativity, ensuring our students are equipped with the resilience and skills to lead in an ever-evolving world.

A Culture of Respect and Readiness

To ensure our classrooms are world-class environments, we expect our students to arrive ready to learn, demonstrating strong starts and focused finishes in every lesson. Our students understand that at Beacon, we only ever use kind words and follow instructions “first time, every time.”

This commitment to consistency ensures a culture where everyone—students and staff alike—feels safe to take risks, voice their ideas, and grow. By fostering these positive relationships, we ensure that our academy is a place where every individual feels they belong.

Empowering Future Aspirations

Beyond our new building, our rich programme of extra-curricular and enrichment opportunities prepares our students for the modern world. From Year 7 through to their post-16 transitions, our students receive expert guidance to ensure they become the architects of their own success.

Whether you are a family seeking a school that will truly know your child, a professional looking for a collaborative and ambitious workplace, or a community partner, I am proud to ensure Beacon Academy remains a place where high expectations and genuine inclusion allow every individual to flourish.

I look forward to welcoming you to our Academy.
