Open Events

We look forward to welcoming you to our school open events, both at our main site for Years 7 - 11 and at our specialist Sixth Form Centre. The next opportunity for prospective students and their parents or carers to visit Beacon Academy will be during our September 2026 open events.

Open Days Autumn 2026

Whole School Open Day: Saturday 26 September 2026

Our interactive whole school Open Day is planned for Saturday 26 September at both our Beeches site and Sixth Form site. This popular event provides visitors with the chance to explore every aspect of life at Beacon Academy and discover what we can offer your child to ensure they make the best progress possible within our supportive, challenging and stimulating environment.

At our Beeches site, students entering Years 7-11 are invited to explore our facilities, try lots of fun activities and meet students, departmental staff, and our Senior Team. Visitors will have the opportunity to attend a presentation in Beeches Main Hall led by our Headteacher, Keith Slattery, and other key members of staff involved in supporting children making the transition from primary to secondary school.

At our dedicated Sixth Form Centre on Green Lane, we invite prospective Sixth Form students and their parents or carers to meet and talk with enthusiastic subject leaders and members of the Sixth Form team about the excellent range of courses and opportunities we offer post-16. Explore our facilities, attend student-led presentations and discover how we can help you to combine your skills and interests into the package that is right for you

Open Morning Tours for Year 6

Our Open Day will be followed by a week of bookable Year 6 Open Morning Tours.

Monday 28 September - Friday 2 October 2026

Led by our Student Ambassadors, prospective students in Year 6 and their parents and carers will have the opportunity to see Beacon Academy on a normal working day to observe the school in action and meet key members of staff involved in the transition of students from primary to secondary education. All sessions started with arrival and registration in Beeches Main Hall at 8:45am with tours leaving promptly at 9:00am. After visiting lesson one with your student guides, prospective students in Year 6 and their parents and carers were invited to attend a Q&A with members of the Senior Leadership Team, key staff and current students.
