Welcome to The Beech Academy

The Beech Academy, which is part of Nexus Multi-Academy Trust is a high achieving Special Education Needs School with a great tradition of success. We believe that an outstanding education develops our students academically, socially and morally, giving them the skills to be successful in whatever they do once they have left us.We also feel it is important for our young people to develop outside of the classroom and we offer a wide range of enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities to help prepare our students for the next stage of their education, training or employment.As a ‘Values’ driven academy, everything we do is centred around these values. To achieve this, our students aspire to display the following 5 values in all they do: Ambition - Fulfil your potentialIntegrity - Be honest and trustworthyInclusivity - Respect for everyoneResilience - Never give upEndeavour - Always work hard We believe that secondary education represents a major stage in the life of each young person and so we aim to work together with parents, carers, governors, agencies and the local community to support our young people; enabling them to develop and grow within this community and in building together a real sense of identity within Beech Academy as part of Nexus Multi-Academy Trust. As an academy that caters for young people with a range of special needs including Autistic Spectrum Condition and moderate learning difficulties, we work on a daily basis to turn ‘I cant’s' in to 'I cans’ and as the Headteacher of Beech Academy, I am proud to recommend it to you. We recognise the equal value of each individual young person and we aim to provide the best possible opportunities for your child. We look forward to welcoming you to our community.​Yours sincerelyMr Neil Davies – Headteacher
