You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:16, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Acland Burghley School''' is a mixed comprehensive secondary school in the [[Tufnell Park]] area of the [[London Borough of Camden]], in [[London]], England. The school received specialist status as an Arts College in 2000 and is a part of the LaSWAP Sixth Form Consortium.

==Recent quality assessments==
The 2013 Ofsted report summarised the school as follows: ‘The school is larger than the average secondary school. Approximately two-fifths of students are White British. A significant proportion of students are from other White backgrounds, White and Black Caribbean and other Black backgrounds. Several other minority ethnic groups are represented in the school. An above average proportion of students are known to be eligible for the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for children in local authority care, students known to be eligible for free school meals and those from families in the armed forces. A similar proportion of students are entitled to the Year 7 catch-up premium. The proportion of students supported through school action is below average. The proportion of students supported through school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is above average. The most common needs are behavioural, emotional and social difficulties and speech, language and communication needs. There are also students with physical disabilities. The school has specialist arts status and has gained the Arts Mark Gold Award.<ref name="ofsted.gov.uk">((cite web|url=http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/inspection-reports/find-inspection-report/provider/ELS/100053 |title=Acland Burghley School |publisher=Ofsted |date= |accessdate=24 April 2014))</ref>

The ''[[Good Schools Guide]]'' said that the school was "remarkable for its art and for the egalitarian effects of its anti-bullying and peer mentoring programme.'<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.goodschoolsguide.co.uk/school/acland-burghley-school.html |title=Acland Burghley School &#124; London &#124; LEA:Camden |publisher=The Good Schools Guide |accessdate=24 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101231235550/http://www.goodschoolsguide.co.uk/school/acland-burghley-school.html |archivedate=31 December 2010 ))</ref> The school is above national average for the new Attainment 8 headline measure. The number of pupils achieving grade C or better in English and Maths is above the national average and the number of pupils attaining the English Baccalaureate is significantly above national average.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/school/100053|website=Compare school and college performance|title=Acland Burghley School - GOV.UK - Find and compare schools in England))</ref> The school has also twinned with Chianna Primary school from Ghana, and during the year donations are collected and sent to the school in Ghana, who are in need of basic educational supplies.

Previous headteacher Michael Shew hit out at a supply teacher for secretly filming pupils misbehaving in class. He confirmed that the school had featured on Channel 5’s hidden camera documentary [[Classroom Chaos]] after he was contacted by the [[Camden New Journal]]. The documentary, which received widespread media coverage, showed pupils misbehaving during a Media Studies class. Mr Shew argued that the programme’s makers used underhand tactics to film children without their permission and had opened up the possibility of legal action.<ref>((cite web|author=Rik Henderson, Made by Michael |url=http://www.camdennewjournal.co.uk/050505/n050505_01.htm |title=Camden New Journal |publisher=Camden New Journal |date=6 May 2005 |accessdate=24 April 2014))</ref>

The current headteacher is Nicholas John. Former headteacher Jo Armitage was praised as having a significantly positive impact on the school in a 2010 Ofsted report .<ref name="ofsted.gov.uk"/> This was less positive in the 2013 inspection where the school was inspected and given notice to improve.

==LaSWAP Sixth Form==
The '''LaSWAP Sixth Form''' is the [[sixth form]] consortium of four [[North London]] schools: Acland Burghley School, [[La Sainte Union Catholic School]], [[Parliament Hill School]] and [[William Ellis School]]. It is one of the largest sixth form consortia in the Greater London area offering some 42 different A level courses, AGCEs, BTECs, NVQs and GCSE courses. The name was formed from the first three letters of La Sainte Union and the first letter of the other three schools.

== Depiction in Fiction ==
((more citations needed section|date=January 2024))
The exterior of the school was used as the fictional Galfast High in [[Steven Moffat]]'s 1997 sitcom ''[[Chalk (TV series)|Chalk]]''.<ref name="dust">''After the Chalk Dust Settled'', featurette on ''Chalk'' Series 1 DVD, ReplayDVD.co.uk, prod. & dir. [[Craig Robins (producer)|Craig Robins]]</ref> The exterior was used again in 'Supernova' a 2006 story in the BBC drama series ''[[Silent Witness]]''.

In 2008, the school was featured on the first episode of the third series of the Channel 4 show ''[[Balls of Steel (TV series)|Balls of Steel]]''.

Acland Burghley is the setting for Eve's husband's school drinks party in series 2 episode 3 of ''[[Killing Eve]]'', with both exterior and interior footage.

In literature, the school is revealed as Peter Grant's old school in ''[[Whispers Under Ground]]'' and to have a ghost haunting the railway tracks under its playground. The science lab in Robert Muchamore's first book in the Cherub series, ''[[The Recruit (novel)|The Recruit]]'', was based on the Acland Burghley science labs.
