Welcome to Benjamin Britten Music Academy and Centre of Excellence in Mathematics.

It is an honour to serve the children of Lowestoft, East Norfolk and the Waveney Valley in what is now a first class learning environment for our scholars.

Our aims are simple: to develop the sharpest minds and the biggest hearts in our children through a traditional academic approach to education.
