Welcome to The Lightbeam Academy

The LightBeam Academy was established in 2017 with one key purpose: to provide a well-rounded, holistic and quality supplementary education to young children aged 5-16 in Pendle.

Our qualified teachers deliver a broad, engaging and comprehensive curriculum which aims to nurture our student’s social, educational and spiritual development. We believe a quality education involves a strong bond between teacher and student and offer small class sizes tailored to our students’ needs.

We believe children should be more than just numbers and statistics. Children represent hope and optimism for a brighter future. Children provide the vitality and energy that the world often needs to repair itself. Our students are encouraged to learn and study but, crucially, they are encouraged to become the best version of themselves. To become ambassadors and grow to become people who spread love and kindness in an increasingly fraught world.
As the Academy has grown, so too have our programmes and services. We encourage our children to continue learning outside of the classroom and the acquisition of our new building – The BestLight Community Hub – enables students to broaden their experiences thorough taking part in sports and fitness programmes, foodbank initiatives and general community welfare work.

LightBeam welcomes children and families from all backgrounds and ensures that our students feel safe, happy and secure and are able to thrive in a caring and supportive environment where the shared values of respect, dedication and resilience underpin all that we do. We pray that by working together with our students, parents and communities, we can help to create a more balanced, peaceful and beautiful world.

An amazing project & charity. They truly take care of the students and make them feel comfortable and welcome. An amazing school that I would recommend to anyone!
