Private School Partners
Exceptional Partnerships. Extraordinary Opportunities.
At Hammersmith Academy, we are proud to be a Mercers’ School, sponsored by The Mercers’ Company, whose rich heritage in education connects us with two of the UK’s leading independent schools –St Paul’s School and St Paul’s Girls’ School.
This unique partnership gives our students access to world-class academic expertise, exclusive enrichment opportunities, and the chance to learn alongside students from a range of different environments and perspectives – broadening horizons and inspiring ambition in every sense.
A Partnership That Broadens Horizons
Through the Mercers’ network, our Private School Partnership Programme enhances every aspect of Academy life, from academic excellence to cultural enrichment. By working collaboratively with St Paul’s School and St Paul’s Girls’ School, we open doors to experiences that challenge assumptions, foster mutual understanding, and cultivate the confidence to succeed in the real world.
