Welcome to Beacon Academy, a dynamic and forward-thinking secondary academy within the Wellspring Academy Trust. Since our opening on 1 September 2017, we’ve remained committed to placing each student at the heart of our provision, ensuring they are not just educated, but truly prepared for the challenges and opportunities of their future.

Our distinctive ethos of ‘Human Scale Education’ means that every student is known, valued, and supported as an individual. We understand that academic excellence is crucial, but equally important is the development of the essential skills and attributes needed to thrive in an ever-evolving world.

At Beacon Academy, we go beyond traditional education to equip our students with the tools they need to succeed in their future careers and lives. We achieve this through:

• Academic Rigour: We maintain high academic standards, building upon our ‘Good’ OFSTED rating and are dedicated to ensuring every student reaches their full academic potential.
• Portfolio Development: We empower our students to build comprehensive portfolios that showcase their skills and achievements beyond traditional qualifications. 
• Holistic Development: We provide opportunities for students to excel in various fields, including sports, poetry, photography, and performing arts. These experiences foster crucial ‘soft skills’ and build confidence.
• A Focus on Future Skills: We emphasize the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration – skills highly sought after in the modern workplace.
• Future Ready Outcomes: Our ultimate goal is for our students to leave Beacon Academy as well-rounded, confident, and adaptable young people, fully prepared to navigate their chosen paths.

Parents choose Beacon Academy because they know their child will receive personalised support and a future-focused education. We are committed to ensuring every student leaves with the qualifications, skills, and experiences necessary to make a positive impact on the world.

We invite you to explore our website and discover how Beacon Academy is preparing the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers.
