Link: Why °×С½ãÂÛ̳ is interested in sponsoring an Academy in Camden °×С½ãÂÛ̳ last night hosted an initial open meeting to discuss the proposed °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Camden Academy.

The meeting was an opportunity for the university to deliver its vision for a °×С½ãÂÛ̳-sponsored Academy in Camden to a broad audience, and for attendees to debate the future directions of the Academy.

Professor Malcolm Grant, °×С½ãÂÛ̳ President and Provost and Professor Michael Worton, °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Vice-Provost (Academic and International) outlined °×С½ãÂÛ̳'s vision for the Camden Academy as a centre for excellence in science, mathematics and languages. The Academy would also have a mission to provide education for global citizenship.

Meeting attendees incorporated a broad range of stakeholders, including Camden teachers, governors and parents and °×С½ãÂÛ̳ staff members. In what was a very lively meeting, attendees raised many questions about the proposals, focusing in particular on the Academy's location, admissions policy, governance, and general ethos. There was also discussion about how a °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Academy would work within the current 'family' of Camden schools.

Camden is currently undertaking final discussions to confirm that °×С½ãÂÛ̳ is to be the preferred sponsor for Camden. Once this has been ascertained, the university will enter into further consultation with all stakeholders. This will feed into the development of °×С½ãÂÛ̳'s plans for the Academy from initial vision to detailed blueprint.Ìý All suggestions and comments at this stage can be sent to academy@ucl.ac.uk.
