An extraordinary part of London is taking shape at King's Cross. The area, with all its heritage and history, has been transformed into a thriving new place with a growing and diverse community.
At the heart of this exciting transformation is King's Cross Academy – a purpose-built primary school that offers a unique opportunity for your child to make the most of his or her potential. Located in the award-winning Plimsoll Building, the Academy opened in September 2015. It provides for 420 primary school pupils aged 4 to 11, plus a 26-place nursery.
King's Cross Academy was developed and is being run by the people who are behind the wider King's Cross regeneration. Our goal is to give our pupils the best possible education and access to opportunities, so they leave primary school with the competence, skills and confidence to succeed at secondary school and beyond.
Light and airy, the Academy is a wonderful environment for our pupils to learn and play in.
