For any candidate, aligning with this vision and wanting to work to improve the life chances of vulnerable and disadvantaged students is vital.

In 2017, in recognition of these achievements, the Boxing Academy was named the Tes AP school of year. In March 2020, following its most recent OFSTED inspection, the school was graded ‘Outstanding’.
