St Marylebone C of E School conversion to academy-status: meesage from Governors

St Marylebone C.E. School will become an academy under the Government's "Outstanding Academies" programme.

The Governors are pleased, by means of this transition, to be securing the school's place at the leading edge of developments in education. This is a place St Marylebone has held for years, exemplified by the school's recent selection as a National Teaching School, one of only one hundred in the country.

We feel that the conversion to academy status will have great benefits for our students and the wider school community – mainly as it will allow us to maintain our inclusive, dynamic ethos, our relationship with the Church and our commitment to excellence and achievement for all.

The school's name, governance and leadership will remain the same.
