At BC Academy, I believe that every child should have the opportunity to explore, discover, and develop their unique talents. Whether it's exploring new topics in the classroom, trying out an exciting club activity, or uncovering a hidden passion in music, sport, drama, or art, my mission is to ensure that our pupils make the most of every opportunity available to them.

There is nothing more rewarding than watching our pupils transition seamlessly from the playground to orchestra practice, or seeing a senior Library Ambassador share their love of literature with younger students.

These are the moments that define our school’s vibrant and inclusive community.

Our commitment to maintaining small class sizes and favourable pupil-teacher ratios allows us to truly know each child as an individual. It provides the time and space for our dedicated staff to unlock each pupil’s potential, encourage their interests, and guide them in discovering new passions. In fact, many of our clubs and activities are inspired by our pupils' own suggestions, reflecting their diverse interests and boundless enthusiasm.

As Principal, I am dedicated to ensuring that our pupils are supported as they strive to reach their full potential, both academically and personally. We recognise that the school years are a time of joy and exploration, but also of challenge and growth. That is why we place a strong emphasis on resilience, kindness, and respect – values that lie at the heart of our school community. Our 'Healthy Living' philosophy further empowers our pupils with the skills and knowledge they need to become self-aware, confident, and responsible members of society.

BC Academy is celebrated not only for its academic achievements but also for its excellence in music, drama, and sport. Our talented and dedicated staff create an environment that is alive with curiosity and enthusiasm, where every pupil is encouraged to dream big and explore their passions.

It is an absolute privilege to lead this thriving school, where each day is filled with excitement, learning, and opportunity. I invite you to join us and see for yourself how BC Academy can unlock the potential of your child.

Warm regards,
Mr Darren Jones
Principal, BC Academy
