The academy building, that cost £40 million, was constructed as part of the proposed London Cancer Hub project; a global centre for innovation in cancer research and treatment. It is built to passivhaus standards.[1] In 2023, Ofsted ranked the school 'outstanding'.[2]

Description

The building is relatively new and enrolment, as of July 2023, is 861. The capacity of the school is 1275.[3] Each year group contains approximately 200 students, with one year being an exception and approximately 250. The school has made a promotional video of the facilities.[4] When not required by the school, rooms, and spaces are available for commercial hire. [5]

The academy is on the London Cancer Hub site, which is a partnership between the London Borough of Sutton and the Institute of Cancer Research, supported by the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, the Greater London Authority, and Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust.[6] It is a specialist STEM school, and its co-location on the Hub's site aims to boost scientific learning.[7]

Academics

In September 2023, the school opened a Sixth Form.[8] Before then, it ran classes from Year 7 to Year 11.
