Settle well into secondary life by offering many activities, after school clubs and revision groups

Understand and adjust to the many different routines associated with secondary school

Principal's Address
It is my pleasure to welcome you to our school. Our mission is to ensure all BACA students benefit from an excellent education, secure great qualifications and develop into young adults who are the first choice recruits for universities and employers.
The academy’s motto is simple - “Believe you can”. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field or performing on stage, we inspire each of our students to develop the knowledge and skills they need to follow their passions into a successful future.
Ofsted rates BACA GOOD, with support for students' wellbeing and safety rated outstanding, and we have strong and improving GCSE results. Our state-of-the-art facilities overlook the Downs on a beautiful site near to Sussex and Brighton universities and the AMEX Stadium, which is well-served by public transport. Direct trains from Brighton and Lewes stop at nearby Falmer station, and bus services across the city link to the academy.
When I was younger I did not really understand what it feels like to be proud of myself. I did not have the freedom in my learning that I have today. - Hear Year 7 student Maddy Luckhurst interviewed by the BBC on starting secondary school life at BACA and being yourself
The transition to secondary school is an exciting process and we work with parents and primary schools to ensure that it is smooth and positive. You can read more about this on our Primary to Secondary School page. Students joining us in Year 7 are embarking on an exciting seven year journey. We are proud to be an 11-18 school that allows students to build on their successes at Key Stage 3 and GCSE to our sixth form.
