Hammersmith Academy
Hammersmith Academy is a non-denominational, all-ability, co-educational secondary academy for 11- to 18-year-olds specialising in creative and digital media and information technology, located in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, West London, England.
Opened in September 2011, the Academy is jointly sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Mercers (the oldest livery company in the City of London) and the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists (the 100th Livery Company).
The academy is based in a four-storey building which has facilities such as a Theatre, Sports Hall, Library, Fitness Suite and Digital Editing & IT suites.
In 2006, only 38% of local children in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham went to local state schools. This led the council to launch its Schools of Choice programme which aimed to provide more choice to meet the growing demand for school places in the borough and reduce the need for parents to send their children to schools outside of Hammersmith and Fulham.
Plans were later announced in 2007 for the building of a new academy within the borough which would be sponsored by the Mercers' Company and the Information Technologists Company. The new academy would open in September 2010 and be designed to accommodate up to 780 mixed ability students aged 11–18, with the site of the former Stamford House young offenders selected.
The opening was later pushed back to September 2011 and building work began in June 2009. It was founded by Tom Ilube, a British-Nigerian entrepreneur and educational philanthropist, together with fellow members of the Information Technologists Company, Lady Parmley (Wendy) and Dr Stefan Fafinski DL.
The building encompasses:
The new year structure goes. L,A,J,M,K. L for Lovelace, A for Attenborough, J for Johnson, M for McQueen and K for Khan. The new houses refer to the inspirational people Such as the mathematician Ada Lovelace, The biologist David Attenborough, The NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, The film director Steve McQueen (director) and the architect Khan. These will be the houses for all the years from Year 7-13.
