Westminster Academy is located in the heart of cosmopolitan
London and, as an international school (International Schools
Award 2009), we celebrate the many countries, cultures and
faiths represented in the local community. Global awareness
and tolerance are threads that run through every aspect of our
work. We are an ever expanding institution with an ability to
accommodate 1175 students aged 11-19.
As a business and enterprise academy, we prepare students

and ambition, seeking opportunities for higher education and
lifelong learning.
