The Academy School
London, Camden, Greater London · NW3 1NG
With just 89 pupils and a striking pupil-to-teacher ratio of around five to one, The Academy School is a small, intimate independent in Camden, north London. Founded in 1997 and led by joint principals Mr G Evans and Mrs Chloe Sandars, it offers a markedly personal alternative to larger London schools. The mixed, day-only setting means each child is well known to staff, an environment that suits families seeking close attention rather than scale.
