Halewood Academy is a secondary school in Halewood, Merseyside, United Kingdom, with over 1,100 students. The current principal is Mr I Critchley.

History

The school was built under the private finance initiative and opened in 2009 as Halewood Centre for Learning, but became an Academy in May 2013.[1]

In April 2015, Ofsted placed the academy in "special measures" following an 'Inadequate' inspection report,[2] though a later inspection in April 2017 overall graded it as 'Good'.[3] The Academy closed its sixth form in August 2017.[4][5] In 2017 Halewood Academy joined The Wade Deacon Trust.[6] In May 2022 an Ofsted inspection confirmed the school continued to be ‘Good’
