Stationers' Crown Woods Academy is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in the Eltham area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich in London, England.[1] The school is built upon the land that was formerly King Henry VIII's hunting grounds (hence 'Crown Woods'). As well as holding pupils from Eltham, the school also attracts pupils from nearby Falconwood.
First known as Crown Woods School, The school was reopened in new £50million buildings designed by Nicholas Hare Architects in 2011 and was renamed Crown woods College. It is structured into four 'home schools', all of which are housed in separate buildings. The scheme received a RIBA London Award in 2012 and was commended at the Civic Trust Awards the same year. Three of the schools are for pupils aged 11 to 16 and pupils are allocated to the schools based on ability, skills and interests. The fourth school is a dedicated sixth form centre for 16- to 18-year-old students.[2][3]
Previously a community school administered by Greenwich London Borough Council, Crown Woods College converted to academy status on 1 September 2014 and was renamed Stationers' Clown Woods Academy. The school is now part of the Leigh Academies Trust and is sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers and the Leigh Academies Trust. As part of this sponsorship, the academy is exempt from Ofsted inspections.
Stationers' Crown Woods Academy offers GCSEs, BTECs and vocational courses as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option of studying from a range of A Levels as well as further BTECs and vocational courses.
