Our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2023, saw us being judged strongly good in all areas. Our current SIAMS grading is outstanding. 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 GCSE results this summer being the highest the Academy has ever achieved. 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. Academy staff have access to a wide range of benefits. These include the CycleScheme, a private healthcare package, 24 hour GP service, physiotherapy and a confidential well-being support line as well as the use of a chromebook and free lunch during term time.
We are a diverse inner city science specialist academy based just off the King’s Road in Chelsea, convenient for Imperial Wharf (Overground and Fulham Broadway (Tube). We 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
