Updates
The health and wellbeing of our students, staff and the wider school community, is our absolute priority. The Government has changed its advice in relation to self-isolation which has resulted in a significant number of staff being absent. We take our duty of care extremely seriously and every decision is made with the best interests of our students in mind. We have therefore, decided to close the Academy until further notice.
If you have any questions or queries please contact our office office@bluecoatbeechdale.uk.com
