Student welfare, academic progress and achievement is at the heart of everything we do at our Academies. 

The Basildon Academies are situated across two sites: the Lower Academy (KS3) and the Upper Academy (KS4 & 5). 

At the Basildon Lower Academy, we pride ourselves on offering a unique experience of Key Stage 3 education. We aim to merge the best of the primary and secondary sectors to give our young people a Key Stage 3 full of active learning, enrichment and quality cultural capital experiences. 

Our Academy values are to drive: 

• Social Mobility - equality of opportunity for our young people to succeed 

• Moral Purpose - resilient positive decision makers 

• Cultural Capital - equity of opportunity and life experiences 

• Spiritual Awareness - reflective citizens and active curious learners.  

Our Key Stage specialist sites enable us to offer our students age appropriate curriculum choices, support, challenge and enrichment. The Basildon Lower Academy offers a unique model of education that enables staff and students to build and foster positive, strong relationships that are underpinned with high expectations and support.  

Our dedicated team works together with parents and carers, governors and our wider community to ensure that each student develops the knowledge, skills and independence to achieve. Every student has the right to the very best possible learning experiences and everyone can succeed. 

I believe passionately that our students’ interests should be at the heart of everything we do. I have high expectations of all at our school, and I am determined to ensure that we provide the very best opportunities for our students to reach their full potential, during their time here and beyond. 

It is a privilege to lead Basildon Lower Academy, and I am excited about everything our school community can achieve together. I look forward to welcoming you into our happy, vibrant, and successful school community.
