Berwick Academy
Our Key Principles:
All students will recieve a high quality CEIAG programme during their time at Berwick Academy. We are committed to delivering high quality CEIAG across the whole curriculum, through discrete lessons and specific events and activities.
We endeavour to give students and parents up-to-date, relevant, clear and specific information as the students progress through school, in order to support them at each stage of their career-planning and school experience.
We aim to empower the students with lifelong skils in enterprise, resilience and innovation to ensure that they are fully prepared for the ever changing world of work.
We will ensure that information will be offered impartially to students, including a range of educational and training options (including apprenticeships and other pathways).
Our Aims

We will seek to continually raise the achievement of our students and both challenge and support them so that they can achieve their full potential.
