Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy is an Academy in the town of Birtley in the Gateshead area of Tyne and Wear, England. It was first opened to pupils in the early 1970s and was rebuilt in September 2007. The new building was constructed by Sir Robert McAlpine. The academy has been led for the last eleven years by Principal David Grigg who retired in July 2013 to be replaced by Principal Mark Lovatt. It was most recently inspected by Ofsted in April 2013 achieving 'Good' in all areas of the framework. Inspectors were very complimentary about most aspects of the academy's performance. == Lord Lawson Academy in Context == Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy (LLOB) is a larger than average academy school with over 1600 students in KS3-KS4 and over 300 Sixth Form Students (KS5). The school is often over subscribed however endeavors to allow access to all, an extension has now been built in order to accommodate the increasing numbers of students. This extension consists of a ground floor 'Independent Learning Center' to allow the sixth form students to work in an independent and quite environment in order to achieve their true potential. All students at the academy benefit from the academies "high performing specialist school for applied learning" status with all students from Year 7 being involved in applied learning and some form of vocational education. LLOB believe in preparing students for the challenges of a rapidly changing world. This means not only developing and securing important subject knowledge but also the skills and attributes learners need to carry on learning long after they have left school. To thrive in an increasingly global community, students need to be Respectful, Resourceful, Responsible, Reasoning, Reflective and Resilient. Our "6 Rs" form the basis of our rewards and behaviour system and are the qualities that all Lord Lawson students aspire to demonstrate. In this way LLOB fulfill the aspirations of the school motto, which summarises how LLOB work together as a community to help and support each other and to realise the dreams of the 1600 young people in our care. As mentioned earlier Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy aim to develop the following student "behaviours" through our 5Rs (+1) and they are: Learning behaviours (associated with highly successful learners) *Resilience – Students don’t give up when the going gets tough. *Responsibility – Students take responsibility for our learning. *Resourcefulness – Students learn in different ways. *Reasoning – Students stop and think about how we are going to do things. *Reflective – Students learn from experience and use feedback to help us improve. And (+1) Respect (this covers how teachers and the academy behave): Students and Staff Behave With Respect. "We Respect ourselves, we Respect each other, and we Respect our environment." The 5RS (+1) form the basis of the Academy rewards and behavior system and are the qualities that all Lord Lawson students aspire to demonstrate. In this way the academy fulfill the aspirations of the school motto which summaries how the academy works together as a community to help and support each other and to realise the dreams of the 1600 young people their our care.
