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 very lucky because we have a beautiful new building and great facilities.  The facilities for our four specialisms of Performing Arts, Media, Business and Social Enterprise are the best in the area.  We have highly successful Maths, English and Science departments in addition to which the students receive a fantastic range of subjects - for example hair dressing, plumbing and engineering are just some of the latest additions.
It is our aim that all students leave us with the skills and attributes required to be lifelong learners and positive role models in their community and globally.
Every student at Paddington Academy is special and each an individual with individual needs.  As a result, each deserves and gets an individual learning diet 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.
The staff and students are proud of our academy and its achievements and welcome visitors. Enjoy the website and please don't hesitate to contact us with any queries or suggestions.

Transformational exam results for Y9, Y11 and 6F students have capped a great year for us at Paddington. We have made a huge amount of progress in our new buildings. The performance of our students in their exams makes all the hard work of last year worthwhile.
Students in Year 9 gained brilliant KS3 SAT results in English, Maths and Science. All results show progress on those of 2007 and on 2006 too. Our GCSE (and equivalent results) were outstanding.

The transformation that this represents has been achieved by hard work, a focus on attainment and giving our students the opportunity to outperform themselves.

At the moment our analysis shows that 91% of students studying English met or got better than their targets. In some cases they were being predicted D and gained A or A*!
In the sixth form we also made real progress. All students who wanted to go to university got their places. The progress made by our students at A Level puts Paddington academy in the top 20% of schools nationally. This year the sixth form has had a large number of requests for places from students at other schools
