The academy building, that cost £40 million, was constructed as part of the proposed London Cancer Hub project; a global centre for innovation in cancer research and treatment. It is built to passivhaus standards.[1]
Description
The building is new and hosting a fraction of its capacity. The school has made a promotional video of the facilities [2] When not required by the school, rooms and spaces are available for commercial hire. [3]
The Academy is on the London Cancer Hub site, which is a partnership between the London Borough of Sutton and the Institute of Cancer Research, supported by the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, the Greater London Authority, and Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust.[4] It is a specialist STEM school, and its co-location on the Hub's site aims to boost scientific learning.[5]
Academics
The school is in its fourth year, and is running classes from Year 7 to Year 10, or Key Stage 3 to the start of Key Stage 4.
