Join the Academy Team

The Playground at King's Cross Academy Primary School

The transformation of King’s Cross is one of the largest, most significant urban regeneration projects in the UK. At its heart is King’s Cross Academy, a purpose-built school with state-of-the-art facilities.

King’s Cross Academy opened in September 2015, sponsored by the King’s Cross Academy Trust. The Academy is part of a unique education campus, co-located with Frank Barnes School for Deaf Children. The wider development includes housing, commercial and retail properties, higher education institutions, leisure and social amenities in the heart of London, set around thriving new streets and successful public spaces.

Our vision is that every aspect of King’s Cross Academy should be the best it can possibly be. We believe every child is entitled to the highest quality learning. This means maximising children’s communication, creativity, thinking, physical learning and social and emotional skills as well as helping them to learn about learning itself.
