Welcome to Haberdashers’ Borough Academy

Haberdashers’ Borough Academy is a vibrant community school in the heart of SE1. Our central London location shapes a rich and ambitious educational experience, where students develop strong academic foundations alongside the knowledge, confidence and character they need to succeed.

Our mission is simple: for every student to Become their best at Borough. We have the highest aspirations for the young people we serve and are committed to helping each one fulfil their potential. Our values, shaped with our students, underpin a culture where hard work, kindness and resilience are expected and celebrated.

A culture of excellence and opportunity

At Borough, high expectations sit at the centre of everything we do. We are committed to creating classrooms where scholarship is valued, behaviour for learning is strong, and every student is supported to achieve their best.

Our location at the centre of the capital enables us to build partnerships with leading organisations from the Tate Modern to Shakespeare's Globe, enriching our curriculum and offering staff and students access to exceptional opportunities beyond the classroom. We aim to ignite curiosity and a love of learning in every subject, supporting students to develop as confident, thoughtful scholars.

As part of the Haberdashers’ family of schools, staff benefit from collaboration across a wider network, sharing expertise and accessing opportunities that enhance both teaching and professional development.

A place to belong

We are proud of our inclusive and supportive community. Strong pastoral systems ensure that every student is known and cared for, and that colleagues work closely together to provide the right support and challenge.

For staff, Borough is a place where you can make a meaningful difference, work within a committed team, and contribute to a culture where both students and colleagues are supported to thrive.
