Welcome to WA!

At Westminster Academy we achieve our Mission - “Education is Success” - in many different ways. Positive relationships between teachers, support staff members, school leaders, parents and carers are vital for student success, and allow us to provide a supportive, inclusive environment in which students develop as confident young adults. We provide a wide range of academic opportunities for our students, along with guidance and support to help them be successful. 

Our WA ethos is underpinned by the IB Learner Profile. We are one of the very few non fee-paying schools in London to offer the International Baccalaureate’s Diploma and Career-related Programmes. The internationally recognized IB qualifications reflect the IB's own Mission to develop ‘caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding’. The IB Mission goes hand in hand with our own HERO values as an Academy.

Ultimately, our success is reflected in what our students take with them when they leave WA, not only in terms of academic outcomes and post-18 choices, but also the impact Westminster Academy students can make on the world by personifying our WA values and ethos.  You can see more of our school in the videos on the left of this page and I hope you enjoy finding out more about us.
