About Beacon Academy

Beacon Academy is a secondary school in Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, classified by the DfE as an academy sponsor led. Around 666 pupils aged 11 to 16 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 37.5 — below the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has risen by 4.6 points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

18% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well below the national average of about 45%. 40% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 49% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Beacon Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
