 Chelsea Academy's stunning, innovative new building opened in September 2010. Its remarkable design offers an exceptional space that enhances the students' experience of learning and community.
The school's premises are in Lots Road, a short distance from the King's Road in Chelsea. Costing around £43 million, the building provides state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories and flexible learning spaces. It will be a stimulating business-like learning environment, with the very latest in specialist facilities for all aspects of the curriculum. Special facilities include a theatre, a sports hall and an activities studio with a climbing wall.
Designed by award-winning architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, the Academy incorporates numerous innovative design features. The building will be extremely energy-efficient, with 10 per cent of its energy coming from renewable sources generated on site.
Another exciting feature of the Academy is the state-of-the-art IT equipment and systems. It includes a powerful online 'learning platform' so that students can access learning resources and assessments along with their own work, from any computer, wither at the Academy or beyond. This also means parents are able to view their children's performance data (such as progress levels and grades, assessment results, attendance records and teachers' comments) from a computer anytime, anywhere.
Parents are also able to check the Academy's bulletins, calendars and diaries. There is a 1:1 student:computer ratio at the Academy, with students learning how to use both Mac and PC devices simultaneously.
