The Canterbury Academy

The Canterbury Academy was one of the first all through federations to win recognition as an Advanced Extended School and as a High Performing Specialist School.

The Canterbury Academy is an accredited International School. We have taken advantage of the freedoms offered by Academy status to shape our curriculum, our provision and our admission to develop a genuinely comprehensive school.

The Canterbury Academy has a variety of partners to enable gifted students to excel in sport. Its teams regularly compete, and win, county and national championships. Students have gone on to compete in the Olympics and gain professional sports contracts.

The Canterbury Academy works in partnership with The Royal Shakespeare Company and Kent School of Performing Arts to provide professional training for gifted performers. Students have gone on to act on stage, screen and TV.

The Canterbury Academy offers a grammar school stream in partnership with The Langton. Pupils at the primary school can benefit from accelerated learning opportunities because of this link. The Canterbury Academy is so popular that it expanded to admit an additional form of entry in September 2017.

Students from The Canterbury Academy, and from many other local schools, progress into Sixth Form. The Sixth Form offers, in partnership with The Langton, the full range of A Levels. It is now one of the largest Sixth Forms in Kent and Medway.

The Sixth Form offers the full range of facilitating A Levels. It offers Level 3 BTEC qualifications. It offers Level 2 qualifications. It offers industry relevant qualifications as well as the opportunity to continue with Maths and English. The Sixth Form also attracts students specifically into the sports and performing arts academies.
