"A great all-round school"

Beacon Academy has been a great choice for my child so far. The curriculum is engaging, the teachers are knowledgeable, and the extracurricular activities are numerous and varied. My only criticism is that the Sixth Form could be more streamlined.

"Good but could improve"

We had a good experience at Beacon Academy, but I think the school could benefit from more support for parents. Communication about events and deadlines can be a bit lacking, and it's hard to know what's expected of us sometimes.
