Welcome to Burnage Academy for Boys
At Burnage Academy for Boys, our pupils thrive through our values of resilience, independence and care. Boys here consistently make 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. Boys do better at Burnage.
