The future of Northumberland Education starts here.

We aren't just a school; we are a community on the move. Perfectly positioned on the stunning East Coast Main Line, we serve the vibrant, coastal town of Berwick-upon-Tweed and the surrounding areas of North Northumberland.

Berwick Academy is in the midst of a reboot. We are moving beyond ‘business as usual’ to build a school that matches the scale of our £50m+ investment. This is a rare opportunity to join a school at the point of its most significant transformation in decades. The road to our new 2028 campus starts here: we are reimagining every aspect of our school—from our structure to our systems to our curriculum and our culture—to ensure we are delivering a first-class education for our young people before the first brick is even laid.

Why Berwick Academy? Why now?

We are currently undergoing a radical, multi-million-pound transformation that will redefine the educational landscape of North Northumberland:
The £50m+ campus: By 2028, we will move into a brand-new, state-of-the-art campus designed for 21st-century learning.
The two-tier transition: In September 2026, we evolve into a 11–18 secondary school, creating a seamless, ambitious journey for our 900+ students.
A leadership reboot: Under new leadership, we are building a culture of radical progress, professional autonomy, and uncompromising standards.

We believe that our staff should thrive both inside and outside the classroom. Our unique location means a commute through breathtaking landscapes, with easy access via the A1 and the rail network.

Join a team of pioneers. Help us build the legacy.
