London Academy

The London Academy is a British Secondary School in Edgware North London on Spur road. Formerly "Edgware School", it opened as the London Academy in 2004. It is an 11-19 school and specialises in Business with Enterprise and Information and Commucation Technology (ICT). The school is open to all young people in the catchment area. The process of finalising a new school building with full occupancy has been completed on schedule in September 2006. The school currently has approximately 1400 students, with around 350 of them in the sixth form.

The London Academy is one of 5 DfES Academies opened in 2004. Academies are all-ability schools established with sponsorship from business, faith or voluntary groups. The first 3 opened in 2002, and 9 more in 2003.

Sponsorship of £1.5 million was provided by the chairman of a venture capital company, Peter Shalson. Money was also raised by resale of part of the old site. It is most likely going to be redeveloped into flats.

The school received national publicity following the fatal stabbing of a 15-year-old pupil and football prospect, Kiyan Prince, outside the school gates on the 18th May 2006.

This school is currently rising in grade per year: in 2005 they got their best results ever with 49% pass in GCSE, currently with 222.4 on the UCAS points for a-level. These are the highest the school has ever seen. The current head teacher is Angela Trigg.
