From the Paddington Academy
With 1,200 pupils from the ages of 11 to 18, Paddington Academy is an outstanding, non-selective academy in West London.
Since 2006, when the school first opened, both of us have worked here, and we are therefore aware of what an incredible experience it is to be a part of the Paddington Academy community.
At Paddington Academy, we consider assisting our students in their academic growth to be our first focus.
We have been among the top 10 schools in the nation for the advancement of our students for seven straight years.
We don't offer explanations for why our students can't succeed because we are adamant that a motivated, resilient student can overcome any obstacle with the help of a supportive school community.
We constantly put a focus on high standards from our students, whether in uniform, behaviour, communication, etiquette, or tenacity, in order to bring out the best in everyone.
We are tenacious in our pursuit of the minute details that, in our opinion, have a significant impact on both the culture and environment of our school and the learning attitudes of our students.
We individually mentor a student because we think that every staff member serves as a positive role model for children.
We take great pride in being a multiracial, multireligious community at Paddington Academy.
Our staff and student body are diverse, and we value that variety. We encourage our pupils to enjoy their ancestry while still being proud British citizens.
For our students to be successfully integrated into British society, we think it is crucial that they comprehend and value British culture and values.
You will notice the happiness and respect that is provided to every member of the school community when you visit our school.
On this website, we hope you may find what you're looking for.
Likewise, do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in enrolling at Paddington Academy or joining our staff.
