About

Hackney-based Skinners’ Academy is a school which provides a dynamic world class education for students aged 11-19.

The Academy is a centre of excellence specialising in Business, Enterprise and ICT. There is a culture of high expectation for every student. Academic, vocational and enrichment opportunities are designed to raise aspirations and develop confident and responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society.  

Following key stage 4, students can apply to join the Skinners’ Academy Sixth Form Centre, where the opportunities are designed to effectively provide excellent key stage 5 education and prepare students for their next steps, beyond further education.

Skinners’ Academy is proud to be supported by The Skinners’ Company, one of the Great Twelve Livery Companies of the City of London. The Skinners’ Company has a long tradition of supporting education, its educational involvement in Hackney dating back to 1890, when they started supporting the Skinners’ Company School for Girls – which closed in 2010, to pave the way for Skinners’ Academy.
