Peckham is a diverse, vibrant area of south London that’s seen significant regeneration over recent years. Our families represent many different nationalities – we celebrate this diversity through school activities and have strong links with the local community.
How we work
As a STEP academy, our values – Passion, Urgency, Positivity, Aspiration and Commitment – are at the heart of everything we do. We aim for depth rather than breadth of learning and through this approach transform the lives of our pupils.
