Coombeshead Academy is a thriving 11-18 school with students joining us from a range of partner primary schools across Newton Abbot and the surrounding area. We also welcome students from other secondary schools into Year 12 where they can study A Levels and vocational Level 3 courses in our successful Sixth Form collaboration with Teign School and South Devon UTC. Our school forms part of Education South West (ESW) where we work in partnership and collaboration with other schools to build success for young people across South Devon. Our school vision is based on: Inspiring Excellence We believe that every young person should have the opportunity to learn in a stimulating and inspirational environment where they can be challenged at the highest levels, as well supported and nurtured, to achieve their very best. Our core values of Positive Attitude, Endeavour, Achievement, Community and Enrichment underpin all our decisions and interactions with students and families. We offer a broad and balanced academic curriculum. We focus relentlessly on the experiences and outcomes our students receive during their time with us so that they are fully equipped with the qualifications and life experiences needed to be successful adults. ‘Growing you whole self’ by accessing the wider curriculum offer that is available at school is a central element of our school. The whole self is about being a leader, taking part and generally exploiting every opportunity that is offered by the school. These core values are encapsulated in our motto of the Coombeshead Way Turn up and be ready: We want every student here at school every day. We know that good attendance guarantees good outcomes and therefore better life chances to get the jobs they want in the future. By being ready to learn with the right attitude and the right equipment no learning time is wasted and the progress our young people make every lesson can be maximised. Work hard: By putting in 100% effort every lesson, every day and never giving up even when facing challenges with new learning and with more difficult concepts. Be nice: We want all our young people to focus on treating each other with respect and tolerance as well as allowing everyone to learn and excel in every lesson We have a caring, disciplined, family atmosphere. All our students are known and treated as individuals. We have high standards, and we place particular emphasis on school uniform 11-16, exemplary behaviour, attendance and punctuality. We value all our staff, and we ensure their skills and knowledge are second to none through a comprehensive professional learning programme.

Hertfordshire-based BE-A Education is the operator of the highly successful and fast-growing New Skills Academy and Staff Skills Training businesses with a mission to make learning accessible to consumers and businesses globally. To date, the award-winning company has sold nearly 1 million courses to consumers in over 30 countries. The strategic investment, in partnership with BE-A’s founders, marks a new phase in BE-A’s continuing mission to bring affordable and accessible upskilling courses to consumers and businesses globally through its direct-to-consumer platform, New Skills Academy, and its SME-focused business platform, Staff Skills Training. Addition Capital’s acquisition was part financed through an undisclosed commercial loan from Shawbrook Bank. Chris Morgan, Co-Founder of BE-A, said: “My brother Dan and I founded BE-A to help people to access training and improve their job prospects. We are so excited to be partnering with Addition to turbo-charge BE-A’s growth and soon provide our one millionth course to our loyal and valued customers. “Ian McClelland and the Addition team bring the tools to make BE-A a dynamic community of learners from around the world.” As part of the transaction, BE-A has appointed Ian McClelland as CEO to lead the business through the next stage of growth. Mr. McLelland has spent a 25+ year career working in start-up, SME, and multinational corporate environments helping digital businesses launch, scale or adapt to disruption. A BAFTA-award winning digital producer, Ian was the CEO of Guardian Australia and then returned to the UK to lead Guardian Media Group’s Corporate Development, where he oversaw Guardian Masterclasses, an international education programme spanning both in-person and online formats. Ian said: “I am very excited to join this dynamic and fast-growing business, which provides real and accessible skills to the people and companies that need it most. “Technology is disrupting jobs around the world, and individuals need to access affordable, high-quality training programmes to increase their employability. BE-A plans to drive New Skills Academy to be the key hub for learning and upskilling in the UK and beyond.” Addition Capital will now focus on assisting the business’ founders, Dan and Chris Morgan, with its ongoing strategic growth plans.
