Welcome to the
Website of the City of London Academy
The home of the City of London Academy (Southwark) is Lynton Road in Bermondsey. The project is part of the DfES
funded Academy programme, with the City of London as prime sponsor in
collaboration with London Borough of Southwark.
 A New School with State of the Art Facilities
This totally new school for 11-19 year olds
currently has over 1,000 students on roll in Years 7 to 11, and a small sixth
form of 50 students. The school will eventually
provide 1200 pupils from the Bermondsey area with high quality, state-of-the-art facilities
in 2009-10.
The school opened in temporary accommodation in
September 2003, and occupied the fully finished permanent facilities in
September 2005. The client brief called for the full range of teaching
accommodation with all attendant support facilities. This included halls
for dining and assembly, sports halls, dance and drama studios,
and sufficient space for school support and administration.
 The Vision
The underlying vision is an Academy based
on a culture of high expectation and achievement within a caring
community, with a focus on Business & Enterprise and Sport. The design
approach seeks to underpin this vision with a positive value engineered
response to an exceptionally difficult site.
The Academy won the Prime Minister’s
Public Building of the Year Award in 2006.

SOUTHWARK BOOK
AWARD
Ms Taylor, Librarian
One of the books in the Southwark Book Award (www.southwarkbookaward.org.uk)
is The London Eye Mystery. Whether it wins is up to you, but we have
managed to get the publishers, David Fickling Books, to give us a
pod on the London Eye as a competition prize. This means that each
of the 19 schools involved in the award will be able to nominate one
student who has worked hardest, read most books, and written most
reviews on the website for a free ride on the London Eye in the last
week of term.
