Message From The Principal

Welcome to our website

Thank you for visiting our website. I am delighted to welcome you to Paddington Academy. We are a vibrant and thriving 11-18, non-selective academy in West London where everyone, both staff and students strive to be the best that they can be. Our motto as part of the ULT family of academies is ‘the best in everyone’.

 

We are proud to be a multicultural, multi faith learning community where the language we all speak is ‘good learning’. Paddington students enjoy their school lives. Every decision is made in the best interests of the students to improve their learning.

Paddington students are encouraged to live their lives by four values

  • Always do your best
  • Always do the right thing
  • Always look for a ‘win win’
  • Always look smart

We offer a broad curriculum at Paddington Academy; every student is encouraged to study the subjects that they are interested in. The diversity ranges from astronomy and economics, to a wide choice of vocational subjects. Every student is expected to perform at the highest level. We consider ourselves an ‘advanced learning’ school, where all students have access to a wide range of extended learning opportunities. Every student is expected to excel at something.

Every student at Paddington Academy is special with individual needs. As a result, each student deserves and gets the academic mentoring and pastoral care that suits them best. We are constantly improving and listen to the student voice. When we can do more, the students let us know and we address the issues.

At Paddington Academy we positively encourage and value the support and contributions of parents. There are a number of ways in which you can become involved including attending ‘Parent Forum’, or joining the ‘Paddington Parents’ Association’. Please have a look at the ‘parent zone’ on our website for further details.

The staff and students are proud of our academy and it achievements and welcome visitors. We have been in amongst the most improved schools in the country in 2008, 2009, and 2010. This year we were 5th in the top 10 schools in the country for progress made by students and 2nd most improved academy nationally.

Enjoy the website and please don’t hesitate to contact us with any queries and suggestions or come and visit!

Very best wishes,

Oli Tomlinson (Mrs)
