About Beacon Hill Academy

Beacon Hill is located in Woodsetton to the east of Sedgley. It is the largest of the academies in the Trust with over 1,100 learners on roll. It recruits at capacity in Year 7 and draws pupils from a large number of different primary schools in a highly populated area. Since 2019, GCSE results have shown improvements in both the attainment and progress of learners. There has been a marked rise in the proportion of learners achieving Grade 5 or higher in both English and Mathematics.

One of the advantages of its size is the number of staff who work in learner support and the broad pastoral care system. The academy has its own AS Base, with trained staff on hand to provide the extra support and care that AS learners may require. There is a comprehensive programme of extra-curricular activities ranging from sports and the arts to valuable enrichment experiences that have included visits to Oxbridge Universities, skiing trips to Italy, and visits to the WWI battlefields, China and Silicon Valley.

Dudley Academies Trust is highly centralised, with aligned systems and processes developed collaboratively by professionals and subject experts across our academies. Our central Teaching and Learning team includes Subject Directors with specialist expertise in Mathematics, English, Science, Literacy, History and DT who support teachers through mentoring, professional development, data analysis and curriculum planning.

We recognise that our staff are our greatest asset. Professional growth is a priority, and we invest heavily in development programmes for senior leaders, aspiring leaders, teachers, and support staff alike.
