Boston Spa Academy

At Boston Spa Academy, our central focus is to empower our students to develop their character to help them to grow into confident, kind and well-mannered young adults. Our school cultivates an environment that allows our students to explore what excites them and fulfil their ambitions, both inside and outside the classroom. In doing so, it equips students to secure the ‘Gift of Choice’ and impact positively on the wider society.

Our community is built on kindness, respect, hard work and aspiration and our enabler to achieving this are the academy core values – Participation, Purpose, Positivity, Professionalism and Principled. Developed in partnership with our students, staff body, parents/carers and governors, I am proud that the core values permeate through our academy, in all aspects of our work and day-to-day life. Through our core values, our vision is that Boston Spa Academy will positively impact the lives of those that attend our academy, now and long after they leave us.
