Thank you for visiting the UCL Academy website. We opened our doors in 2012 with an ambitious vision for how a diverse school in inner London could, with the support and inspiration of one of the world’s leading universities, inspire all of our students to fulfil their potential and achieve success, regardless of background. We emphasise education of the whole person and believe academic excellence alongside a culture of inclusivity in a safe and welcoming environment.
