September 2005 saw the launch of the City of London
Academy as a Specialist Sports Academy. We are now known as a school with
Business & Enterprise and Sports College status.
Sports College status is part of the Specialist Schools
Programme, which is an important part of the Government's drive to raise
standards in education. As a Sports College we aim to develop strengths
and character through sport for individuals, and . It helps to raise
standards in sport in the school through the development of sporting
provision. It also endeavours to raise standards of achievement in all
areas of the curriculum through sporting activity. It ensures that the
local community derives the greatest benefit from those sporting
facilities whilst strengthening links between the school, businesses,
industry, sporting bodies and the local community.
