Welcome
Furness Academy is an 11-16 school specialising in Applied Mathematics and Sport.
The Academy is a formation of three predecessor schools in Barrow: Parkview, Thorncliffe and Alfred Barrow. It will take the most successful and positive attributes of each individual school to become a leading light for education in Barrow.
We aim to give students the skills and self-belief they need to develop into confident young adults. We want to help students to develop into independent young learners who are able to make the best of the opportunities their lives bring them.
Our focus is on individual students, whether their talents are in academic subjects or elsewhere. We want to make sure every student is included and that Barrow’s young people have access to the best possible education and the widest possible range of career paths in the future.
