About Us

Cleethorpes Academy is an 11-16 mixed comprehensive of approximately 850 students. The Academy opened in September 2010 to serve the local Cleethorpes area and was sponsored by Tollbar Academy, an outstanding secondary school.

In September 2012, Cleethorpes Academy joined the Lincolnshire Gateway Academies Trust (MAT) Family of Academies as a constituent academy.

The Academy has undergone a £7.7m rebuilding/refurbishment programme that was completed in September 2013.

This programme enabled the Academy to have new accommodation for Technology, Art, Mathematics and Citizenship together with a new sports centre. All other areas have been fully refurbished. This has continued with a £1.5m SEND and Behaviour Provision area as well as a new dining room, completed December 2024.

The curriculum organisation of the Academy is based on Curriculum Areas, each having a suite of rooms within the various teaching blocks. The Curriculum Areas are: English, Maths, Science, Art, ICT, History, Geography, RE, Modern Languages, Music and Performing Arts, Physical Education, Special Educational Needs and Technology.

Pastoral care at Cleethorpes Academy is extremely strong and focussed on the individual child. As well as Heads of Year, we have a dedicated non-teaching pastoral leader who has an overview of all pastoral matters. Together with the support of the Safeguarding and attendance teams, every young person is offered the same wraparound care.

The Academy operates an Equal Preference Admission Policy, which means that it attracts students from a wide area.
