Bluecoat Academy began as The Nottingham
Bluecoat School. It was founded as the firs
t
charity school in Nottingham in 1706 situated
in St Mary’s Gate.
Today the Academy is a vibrant, diverse
community of almost 2,000 learners. The
Academy is founded on the principle of a
Christian faith education for all. Our m
ission is
to provide the best possible education in a
supportive and disciplined environment where
each student is seen as an individual “fearfully
and wonderfully made”.
In April 2014 the Bluecoat family expanded as
Bluecoat Beechdale Academy became part
of Bluecoat Academies Trust. We are
delighted to be able to build on the
successes we have enjoyed as Bluecoat
Academy to reach out and improve the
education of yet more young people in the
heart of Nottingham City.

We areconstantly evaluating our entitlement for our learners so that new courses such as creative & media, childcare and businessstudies complement more traditional subject choices such as modern foreign languagesand humanities.

learning
Effective learning takes a multitude of forms.
Some of this happens in traditional classrooms
with familiar methods but we believe in
constantly looking for new ways to promote
learning.

These include taking learning beyond the
classroom and our many international links with
South Africa, Italy, F
rance, Germany and
Jamaica allow students to explore unfamiliar
places and enrich knowledge and
understanding.
