I am delighted to welcome you to the Beacon Academy website. I hope you find it a valuable resource and an insight into our vibrant and inclusive school community.
Beacon Academy is a thriving Primary Academy in Loughborough, serving children aged 2 to 11 years old. We are dedicated to ensuring that every child receives an excellent education every day, with high expectations, a broad and enriching curriculum, and a strong focus on personal development.
At Beacon, we believe that education extends beyond academic achievement. Personal and social development is at the heart of everything we do, ensuring our pupils grow into responsible, well-rounded citizens who are ready for the challenges of the modern world.
We are guided by our Values, which shape our culture and expectations:
Be Unusually Brave – We encourage children to take risks, step outside their comfort zones, and embrace challenges with confidence.
Push the Limits – We have high expectations for every pupil and foster a growth mindset where resilience and determination lead to success.
Discover What’s Possible – We inspire curiosity, creativity, and ambition, helping children realise their potential.
Be Big Hearted – Kindness, empathy, and respect are at the core of our school community. We celebrate diversity and ensure every child feels valued and supported.
These values, along with our school maxims, guide us in delivering an inclusive, nurturing, and ambitious education for all children. We are proud to be rated Good in all areas by Ofsted and to be recognised as an IQM Inclusive School, reflecting our commitment to meeting the needs of all learners.
We understand the importance of strong partnerships with parents and carers, and we value collaboration in ensuring that Beacon Academy remains at the heart of the community. As part of Lift Schools Multi-Academy Trust, we benefit from a shared vision for excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement.
If you are considering an application for your child, we warmly invite you to visit us at any time. We would love to show you what makes Beacon Academy such a special place to learn and grow.
Warm regards,
