Welcome to Lambeth Academy. A member of the United Learning Trust.

Lambeth Academy is a completely new school, established in direct response to local parents' concerns about the need for more, high quality, secondary school provision in Lambeth. The first Year 7 enrolled as foundation students in the Academy in September 2004. Each year we have grown by one year group, giving us the opportunity to create our own ethos. Now we also have our own successful sixth form, giving a complete service to families from 11-19. Our students benefit from a range of innovative and exciting opportunities. The purpose-built Academy has been designed by award-winning architects and incorporates state-of-the-art sports, dance, drama, art, design, music, science and technology facilities. Our specialisms of Languages with Business and Enterprise are a particular strength and equip our students to be citizens of a 21^st century world community. I am particularly proud that we have been awarded Intermediate International School Award in recognition of the links we are building internationally. Our dedicated and energetic Academy staff aim to ensure that learning is stimulating, challenging and fun. We operate an extended day and host Saturday morning and holiday clubs. I aim to ensure that the basics of excellent teaching, positive attitudes towards learning and good behaviour are at the heart of what will become one of the best schools in London. Stephen Potter Principal
