A warm welcome from our Principal, Anna Sarchet At The City Academy Hackney, we are dedicated to providing all the students in our community with the best possible educational opportunities. We believe excellence is achieved through three key ingredients: clear structures, high expectations and strong relationships. Our outstanding curriculum is built around The City Experience which places equal value on academic, creative, sporting, linguistic and personal development. We pride ourselves on being a school which offers young people a warm and supportive environment, enabling them to meet our very high expectations. Our inspirational staff are skilled and committed and we are generously supported by City of London Academies Trust . As a result, our students make exceptional progress . As a member of City of London Academies Trust we benefit from the support of a trust that shares our founding principals. Our strong relationship has grown since the foundation of the academy in 2009.
