Welcome
I am delighted to welcome you to our outstanding Academy, sponsored by both the Church of England and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. We have continued to flourish and excel in the provision of an excellent education, unparalleled pastoral care and huge extra curricular opportunities. Our results this summer at both A Level and GCSE are testimony to a real focus on strong teaching and learning and on preparing our students to be successful in their next steps.
Ofsted Outstanding
We are currently graded outstanding by Ofsted and SIAMS, and a member of the SSAT Leading Edge network. In the summer we achieved some of our best ever GCSE and A Level results in terms of both progress and attainment. However, we are much more than a successful, academically focused school.
Our Vision
‘Learning together to flourish’, is lived out every day; a vision informed by our Christian values. We believe in educating the whole child and our Christian values of joy, perseverance, servant leadership, charity and forgiveness underpin everything we stand for.
