Livingstone Academy Bournemouth

Welcome to Livingstone Academy Bournemouth

Livingstone Academy Bournemouth is a mixed, non-selective all-through school situated in the heart of Bournemouth. As a proud member of the ASPIRATIONS ACADEMIES TRUST, the academy caters to students from age 4 right through to 19. With a capacity of 1510 and currently 1006 pupils on roll, it offers a consistent, unified educational journey from early years through to post-16 education.

Serving the Bournemouth Central community and the wider Bournemouth West area, Livingstone Academy is designed to provide a modern, inclusive environment. Approximately 26.1% of the student body is eligible for free school meals, which sits slightly above the local BCP non-selective average of 26.96%. The school embraces this diversity, aiming to provide high-quality education and opportunities for all its students regardless of their background.

In terms of accountability and performance, Livingstone Academy was most recently inspected by Ofsted on 16/04/2024, where it achieved an overall effectiveness rating of 'Good'. The inspection highlighted several 'Outstanding' areas, particularly in behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. Currently, as a relatively new establishment, detailed Key Stage 4 performance metrics such as Progress 8 for the 2024-2025 cohort are not yet published due to the lack of a KS2 baseline for that specific group.

Whether you are a prospective parent looking at primary intake, or considering secondary options within the BCP coordinated admissions scheme, we encourage you to explore the data. For complete policies, term dates, and daily school life, please visit the official Livingstone Academy website.
