It is the perfect place for our youngest pupils to try new things and broaden their horizons. We offer a wide range of subjects to inspire our pupils. We offer a mixture of GCSEs and IGCSEs, and in our Sixth Form, you can choose between A Levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma. We are well-known for our co-curricular offering; pupils can try their hand at over 100 activities. These range from rugby to beekeeping, archery to dance. Every year we host a Model United Nations conference attended by around 600 pupils from schools across the world.

Chelsea Academy is an Outstanding, World Class School, sponsored by the London Diocesan Board for Schools and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. We are a warm, friendly and inclusive school with a strong Christian ethos and have a track record of excellent examination success and first class staff development. We combine traditional values and high standards with an innovative approach to learning and teaching and a strong commitment to staff development. The Academy’s specialism is the sciences and we also offer 10% of our places to students with a musical aptitude. Visitors to the school have consistently commented on the high standards of behaviour, enthusiasm for learning and confidence of our students, as well as the Academy’s stunning brand new £43m building. We are currently graded outstanding by Ofsted and SIAMS, are a World Class School and a member of the SSAT Leading Edge network. In the summer we achieved our best ever GCSE results in terms of both progress and attainment. 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 is an excellent place to work and we are looking for talented individuals to join our team.

Academically, our students achieve exceptional results. In 2024, 32% of A Levels were awarded the top A* grade, and over a third of our entry gained at least 2 A* grades. At GCSE, over 1 in 5 pupils achieved 10 9-8 grade GCSEs, and 68% of examinations taken were awarded grades 9-8, with 87% awarded grades 9-7.

Our students progress to leading universities, particularly those within the Russell Group. Recent graduates have gone on to study at institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, Bristol, Durham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham, UCL, and more.
