The Five Islands Academy

Five Islands Academy is an all-through academy located on St Mary's, serving the island communities of Bryher, St Agnes, St Martin’s, and Tresco. Catering to students aged 4 to 16, the academy features small primary bases on St Agnes, St Martin’s, and Tresco, while all secondary students attend the larger facility on St Mary’s. Primary students from Bryher travel daily to Tresco, and secondary students from off islands board weekly at Mundesley House, ensuring a supportive and community-focused environment.

The academy prides itself on its small class sizes and exceptional pastoral care, fostering a nurturing atmosphere for learning. Its curriculum is designed to be inclusive and innovative, with a focus on outdoor education to engage students effectively. The school has consistently achieved Progress 8 scores above the national average, and its recent Ofsted report rated it as a ‘Good’ school with ‘Outstanding’ personal development.

Five Islands Academy is committed to serving its local community and providing a high-quality education that prepares students for future success, with a strong emphasis on academic achievement across various subjects.
