Information about the School
Sir Geoff Hurst Academy is a special school offering a nurturing, inclusive environment for 65 pupils with SEMH and associated needs, with residential provision for fifteen pupils. We have high expectations for each child to leave as a confident young adult who is well prepared for the future. The school is built on the site of the former Rainsford High, where Sir Geoff attended. Named after Sir Geoff Hurst, the only man to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final when England won in 1966, our CEO had the honor of meeting Sir Geoff to seek permission for naming the school after him.
The school, located in central Chelmsford, aims to deliver effective practice and informative teaching to support children and young people in accessing meaningful outcomes and life pathways.
The Beckmead Trust Schools are committed to the academic, physical, social, vocational, and emotional progress of pupils. We foster an environment that is warm, purposeful, and understandable, allowing children to flourish in all aspects of their lives. Our curriculum offers formal, informal, and enriched opportunities for development, preparing graduates to become independent, connected members of their communities and workplaces.
