betaAcademy 360 is an all-encompassing school situated in the Pennywell district of Sunderland, nestled within Tyne and Wear, England. As a mixed all-through institution, Academy 360 offers education to students aged from 4 to 16. Formerly known as Pennywell Comprehensive School, it was rebranded as Academy 360 in 2008, following a conversion to academy status and its relocation to a new building on the same site, with the old building being demolished. The school initially was sponsored by Sunderland City Council, Sir Bob Murray, and Gentoo social housing group, but since 2016, it has been under the umbrella of Laidlaw Schools Trust.

The school has an appreciable history, being the third most improved institution in the UK as acknowledged in TES 2019. It provides a stimulating learning environment and encourages students to seize all available educational opportunities. Academy 360 offers a broad curriculum with courses such as GCSEs and BTECs, and students often pursue further studies at Sunderland College, which is the school's university-level education partner. Additionally, the school operates 'The Achievement Centre' for small numbers of pupils from throughout Sunderland.
