Alec Reed Academy Secondary Phase places a strong emphasis on preparing our young people for the world of work with the added benefit of our specialism of Enterprise to help develop independent thinking and team work. Our well qualified and motivated staff have the best modern technology and resources available to them. This enables students to achieve their full potential both in terms of their academic success and their development as individuals. One of the Academy's aims is to create an environment in which hard work and discipline combine to provide our students with the determination and motivation to succeed. Students can expect to gain much from Alec Reed Academy and in return we expect a high level of commitment and endeavour from them as well as very high standards of behaviour and personal appearance.

Joining the High School at Alec Reed Academy means that your son/daughter will be expected to continue in full-time education up to the age of 18 following an extensive range of academic and/or vocational courses. They will also follow a slightly longer learning day, whilst being able to take advantage of the outstanding teaching and learning facilities available at the Academy which are amongst some of the best nationally. Alec Reed Academy is proud of the high standards set for everyone and all students are expected to comply with the Academy's published codes of dress and conduct.
