Paddington Academy

Paddington Academy is an Outstanding, non-selective academy in inner West London with 1,200 students from ages 11-18. As part of United Learning, our aim is to bring out ‘the best in everyone’ and we continuously strive to ensure that students and staff here have every opportunity to do so. We have both worked here since the school opened in 2006 and so we know what a truly amazing experience it is to be part of the Paddington Academy community. We are very proud of our school and, most importantly, of the students and staff with whom we have the pleasure of spending each day. At Paddington Academy, we believe that our first priority is to help our children learn. We place this at the heart of every decision that we make and ask ourselves: will this improve student learning? For seven consecutive years we have been in the top 10 schools in the country for the progress our students make. We believe that all students are capable of making outstanding progress and attaining at the highest level, whatever their starting point. We do not make excuses for our students: we firmly believe that there are no barriers to achievement that cannot be overcome by a determined and resilient student and a supportive school team. We specialise in establishing what each student needs in order to make this outstanding progress and ensure that no child is left behind.
