Our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2023, saw us being judged strongly good in all areas. We have also been recently awarded a glowing J1 for our SIAMS inspection. Both inspections evidence our excellent quality of education and commitment to ensure all students flourish both academically and pastorally. Recent outcomes at GCSE and A Level demonstrate strong progress for all students with the Academy’s results regularly placing us in the top 20% of schools for student progress. However, we are much more than a successful, academically focused school. We believe in educating the whole child and our Christian values of joy, perseverance, servant leadership, charity and forgiveness underpin everything we stand for. It is important that all of our staff, whether they are teachers or not, work closely with our young people and ensure that they are successful in all that they do. We are looking for staff who will always go the extra mile for our young people and believe that education happens both in and out of the classroom.
Chelsea Academy has a strong community of collaboration and support for all our staff. We are a friendly and thriving environment to work and grow both personally and professionally. Our staff are friendly and supportive. We want all of our teachers to be excellent practitioners, passionate and inspired by their subject, and so offer unrivalled professional development and support. This includes an early closure for students every Wednesday to allow for meetings and CPD (including opportunities to visit other schools) and a thriving in-house approach to coaching and supporting staff at the Academy. Through the Chelsea Academy Way for Learning and a focus on our four Chelsea Absolutes, we have a simple, flexible and consistent way of developing outstanding teaching. Most of our senior and middle leaders started as teachers with us and have developed into highly talented practitioners. Your professional development is important to us. We offer internal and external training including a broad range of opportunities through the NPQ programme through NPQML & NPQSL. -. Academy staff have access to a wide range of benefits. These include a late start or early finish one day a week for teaching staff, the Cycle to Work Scheme, a private healthcare package, 24 hour GP service, physiotherapy and a confidential well-being support line as well as a chromebook laptop and free lunch.
We are a diverse inner city science specialist academy based just off the King’s Road in Chelsea and are co-sponsored by both the London Diocesan Board for Schools and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Chelsea Academy combines traditional educational values and high academic and behaviour standards with an innovative approach to learning and teaching. The Academy’s historic specialism is the sciences, and as such we have strong links with local organisations such as Imperial College, The Science Museum and Chelsea Physic Garden. As a Church of England sponsored academy we welcome staff, students and parents/carers from all faiths but expect all employees to have regard for our Christian values that are demonstrated through the taught and non-taught curriculum
