Our mission is simple – we want pupils to ‘Become their best at Borough’ in all aspects of their lives. We have the highest aspirations for each young person we work with and strive to help them to fulfil their potential.

Our Academy values, which were created by our young people, speak to that. We expect our learners to become excellent ambassadors for their community, by working hard to achieve their aspirations, whilst becoming kind and resilient citizens.

Our location in the centre of the capital allows us to provide a unique take on the curriculum, making the most of partnerships with world leading organisations which enrich and enhance our offer. In all areas of the curriculum, we aim to ignite a spark which enables our young people to become scholars of their chosen subject disciplines.

We are proud of the traditions of excellence that are synonymous with the Haberdashers’ Academies Trust. Our schools are driven by a common ambition – to become excellent schools which are grounded in their communities. Through partnership with family of schools in South London, pupils and teachers have access to opportunities which enhance the learning experience.
