Welcome to Burnage Academy for Boys
At Burnage Academy for Boys, our pupils come first and thrive through our values of resilience, independence and care. Boys here do better, making more progress than they would at the majority of schools in England. We have a range of opportunities for our pupils to develop both in class and through extra-curricular activities, and an award-winning pastoral programme. We believe that young people should be prepared for success in life beyond Burnage, to make the best decisions for themselves, and to understand the world in which they live. Welcome to our school!

🏸 Every form was represented at the Yr10 interhouse badminton competition. Matches were highly competitive but played fairly, as boys umpired and scored their own matches.
Congratulations to 10R who came out victorious! pic.twitter.com/T7E29yphEW— Burnage Academy for Boys (@Burnage_Academy) October 1, 2025
