Beacon Hill Secondary Modern School also existed on the Chatsworth Place site during this period.

In July 2021, Beacon Academy was named by the DfE in Wave 2 of the School Rebuilding Programme.

Holy Family Catholic Academy was graded ‘Good’ by OFSTED in a full, Section 5 Inspection in June 2015.

Following a short, Section 8, OFSTED inspection on 6 February 2019, Beacon Academy’s status remained as ‘Good’.

In the new OFSTED Inspection Framework, Beacon was graded ‘Good’ for overall effectiveness.
