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.

Welcome to the Website of the City of London Academy (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.

YEAR 7 DORSET TRIP A SUCCESS
Mr Fazackerley, Team Humanities

Last week, Year 7 had an amazing time at the PGL Activities Centre in Osmington Bay, Dorset. It was the fifth year that the Academy has been on this trip and it was another great success – due to the positive attitude of the students and their superb behaviour; they were a credit to the school, their parents and to most of all to themselves.

Now you have the chance to make a lasting difference in the school. Our eating place needs a name! Put your suggestion on a piece of paper and give it to the General Office.
