Westminster Academy is an Academy (publicly funded, semi-independent secondary school) located in London, England. It is a co-educational school for pupils of 11+ years, and specialises in International Business and Enterprise.^[1] The school was created, along with nearby Paddington Academy, following the closure of North Westminster Community School.

History

Westminster Academy opened in September 2006 in temporary accommodation at Penfold Street in the London borough of the City of Westminster. This building was formerly the Marylebone Lower School site of North Westminster Community School. The school moved into new purpose-built premises in the summer of 2007. The new site is in the Westbourne Green area. The architects are Allford Hall Monaghan Morris.^[2]
