Description

Kearsley Academy offers General [Certificate of Secondary Education|GCSEs] and Business and [Technology Education Council|BTECs] as programmes of study for pupils. The school also specialises in mathematics and computing.
In 2018, Kearsley Academy came under scrutiny for its lack of action against a teacher who bullied a child due to the colour of her hair, as well as sending two boys home from school because their school shoes were "deemed incorrect" and did not match the school's uniform policy.
There was a substantial increase in the 5 GCSE with Maths and English pass rate. It was judged one of the 20 most improved schools in the country.
