Welcome to Furness Academy
Thank you for your interest in the education provision, care, guidance and support on offer at Furness Academy.
This is a very exciting time to be considering Furness Academy as a secondary school choice. We offer first class facilities that accommodate over 1200 students occupying a distinctive site in the heart of our community.
You can look forward with confidence to Furness Academy providing a welcoming and safe environment for your child. Our core values of respect, responsibility and relationships underpin all our efforts to ensure that all students have the greatest opportunity to achieve their best and we recognise and value the potential of every individual student. Under the leadership of our Head Teacher, Mr Laheney, teachers, managers, trustees, governors and sponsors are working in partnership to achieve progressive teaching and learning of a high standard.
We provide strong support for everyone and we are never satisfied until a student is doing their best.
Below details the many ways you can engage with us here at Furness Academy, where we hope we can support you as you make this important decision about where you would like to continue your learning after primary school.
For those unable to attend our Open Evening, or wish to see the school in session, we have a number of Open Sessions taking place from Monday 23rd to Friday 27th September. These start at 9am and will last approximately one hour.
