School Description

This school provides a fresh start for pupils who have previously disengaged from learning. Most pupils arrive disillusioned and often ready to give up on education. They say this school is different because teachers believe in them. Leaders are aspirational, they want all pupils to leave school with meaningful qualifications. Continual encouragement and support from all staff help pupils to achieve more than they thought possible. The majority of pupils engage well in classes and do well because teachers usually take their needs into account. Rarely, where a few pupils need additional support, particularly with reading, some teachers lack expertise to deliver learning that consistently meets pupils’ needs. Well-planned careers education means that pupils are prepared for their next phase. They engage well in work experience and can make informed decisions. Pupils speak about their futures with excitement. Pupils generally behave well because of teachers’ high expectations. Pupils say that bullying is not tolerated. They say they feel safe in school and that staff would resolve any problems. A few pupils do not attend school on time or regularly enough. This impacts negatively on their learning. While there are processes in place to follow up on poor attendance and lateness, this does not improve for all pupils.

Blackwater Academy Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK. Contact the school directly or visit their website for more information on Admissions Policy and Procedures.
