City of London Academies Trust believes strongly in the transformational nature of education operating schools in areas of significant disadvantage. We understand that strong outcomes lead to improved life chances for our students, so we are unashamedly academic and unapologetically results driven. Each of our schools adopt a 'warm/strict' approach, combining high expectations with care and support. Our level of care means we never compromise on standards or expectations, ensuring that no student's background becomes a reason for lowering the bar.

Our schools maintain exemplary standards of behaviour, with systems, rituals and norms that instill strong habits. As a result, our schools provide an environment where our teachers can teach, and students can learn without disruption. We take great pride in fostering an exceptionally positive learning environment and we work meticulously to maintain our strong ethos and culture.
