ALEC REED ACADEMY
From Nursery to Post-16
and beyond...
The Alec Reed Academy provides all-through education
where children can start in the nursery at 3 years old
and then stay until they leave at 18.
I
t is the realisation of its founding
sponsor Sir Alec Reed’s
determination to provide children
with an outstanding education.
The academy builds on exactly the
same principles: high expectations,
doing the simple things right and the
belief that all children, regardless of
background or ability, can succeed.
Thriving primary and secondary schools
each have their own specialist facilities
situated on the same site. Post-16 caters
for all learners covering A-levels and
BTEC and has a highly successful Post-16
Football Academy with a programme of
top class coaching by UEFA A-licensed
coaches (Yannick Bolaise of Crystal Palace
is a former student).
ALEC REED ACADEMY IS A ‘GOOD
SCHOOL’ (OFSTED APRIL 2015)
‘High expectations are the norm. The
Academy prepares pupils well for
the next stage of their education,
whether this is moving from the
primary to secondary or moving
on from the Sixth Form’
(Ofsted 2015).
‘‘Relationships between
teachers and students are
excellent. Over the time that
pupils attend the Academy they develop
into mature young people who are well
prepared for the next stage of their lives’
(Ofsted 2015).
In addition, the Academy has received
national awards for Outstanding Progress
(National Collins PiXL 2014) and for
Learning Plus 2016 A Level results.
In designing the Academy, architects
Foster & Partners created a spacious, light
and airy environment with modern facilities
which include indoor and outdoor sports
centres available to both students and
the community; and ‘Academy Fields’,
a nature area perfect for outdoor learning.
