Brighton Aldridge Community Academy (BACA)[1] is a coeducational academy school in Brighton, which opened on 1 September 2010. The school replaced Falmer High School and is sponsored by the Aldridge Foundation, an educational charity founded by Sir Rod Aldridge.
Dylan Davies became Brighton Aldridge Community Academy’s second Principal succeeding Phil Hogg on her retirement, taking up the role in January 2014.
In October 2010 the school announced a partnership with Sussex Cricket to promote cricket in the area.[2] The Aldridge Cricket Academy was subsequently formed which allows sixth form students from Brighton Aldridge Community Academy or Portslade Aldridge Community Academy to combine A level studies with an intensive cricket development programme.[3]
Brighton Aldridge Community Academy and Portslade Aldridge Community Academy recently partnered up with Latest TV to offer a new digital media academy to students called the Brighton Digital Media Academy (BDMA), which launched in September 2015.[4]
Campus
The building was designed by architects Feilden Clegg Bradley and constructed by building firm Kier Group. The first phase of the new building was finished in September 2010 and all buildings were completed by September 2011.
