Our school community delivers a safe and inclusive environment and a space where students can develop and thrive as they discover the possibilities for exciting future careers.

We believe that every student has the potential to succeed and that is why we start investing in their future careers as soon as they join us. Students at SBUA enjoy access to unique opportunities as part of the London South Bank University (LSBU) community.

We strive to create a supportive atmosphere while encouraging our students to work hard, embrace new challenges and develop their resilience and self-confidence. We are committed to a diverse school community and believe that our differences make us stronger. Our values of social responsibility, endeavour, kindness, empathy, and community are the golden thread that binds us together.

Our vision is to ensure that our students gain the knowledge and experience they need, and the strength of character to become changemakers in the world, living well and improving the lives of others. We achieve this by:

  • Building character through experiences that help students become confident and ambitious as well as good citizens.
  • Delivering expert teaching in a wide range of subject specialisms.
  • Developing student agency by enabling young people to take ownership of their education and supporting them to make their own choices.
  • Fostering a love of learning in which students feel comfortable to think deeply and critically.
  • Providing the care and support that our students need to enjoy being part of a nurturing community.
  • Signposting destinations that take students beyond examination results into a wide world of possibilities.
  • Enriching our curriculum alongside our partners in London South Bank University Group.

Our values: Everything we do is based on our core values of:

  • Social justice
  • Kindness and empathy
  • Endeavour
  • Community

Our motto

‘Create a better future’ Being influenced by our values empowers us to make an impact in our own lives and in the life of the community.

Our unique Pathways programme takes students on an inspirational journey beyond the National Curriculum, opening their eyes through new experiences, dynamic projects, and positive engagement with organisations from a wide range of sectors. This enhances students’ employability skills, preparing them for high value academic, professional, and technical careers.

Our offer includes an after school and holiday programme, bespoke mentoring and tutoring, extensive advice and guidance, a guest speaker programme, and interesting workplace visits. High-spec facilities and equipment are provided including a Chromebook of their own during students’ time in school.
