We are very proud to have sponsored Westminster Academy since it opened in 2006. This has been a period of steady development with significant improvements in each of these years.

It has been very gratifying being alongside a hard working and dedicated team of teachers and staff, and its remarkable leadership. Our aim has been to support their inspiring teaching of the students, who are drawn from so many diverse backgrounds.

Westminster Academy has the benefit of a resourceful and effective group of Trustees, with an exceptional Chair, which has maintained an ambitious strategy for excellence. 

We are committed to continue to build links with outstanding outside organisations that add enriching dimensions to the student experience at the Academy. 

We know that we need to improve continuously, to ensure that every student feels the benefit of their years of effort at this Academy for the whole of their adult life.

Chair of Board of Trustees

Westminster Academy has always had a clear ambition: to be a place of educational excellence, while remaining firmly rooted in and responsive to the community it serves.

We are fortunate to be part of one of the most diverse communities in central London, and we are committed to ensuring that the Academy continues to meet the needs and aspirations of local students, families and residents. For every young person who chooses to study with us, our aim is to provide opportunities that enrich their experience, broaden their horizons and help make their time at the Academy truly transformative.

That commitment extends beyond the classroom. In particular, we want those living in Westbourne and across Westminster to see Westminster Academy as a place they can connect with, contribute to and be proud of.

I encourage you to engage with the Academy, its staff and its leadership whenever you can. In return, the Board of Trustees remains committed to building on the Academy’s strong reputation, strengthening our relationship with the local community and ensuring Westminster Academy continues to be a place of which we can all be proud.
