About The London Screen Academy

The London Screen Academy is a 16-19 state secondary in Islington, and its headline metrics sit well below the local authority average for its type. The LA average Progress 8 score for secondary schools is 0.28, but this school’s A-level value-added score is -0.37, with a progress banding of ‘Below average’. That’s a significant gap, and it places the school firmly behind its local peers: the top three in the borough — Central Foundation Boys’ School, St Aloysius’ College and Highbury Fields School — all have positive ranking scores. The school’s average points per entry of 33.09 (graded C+) and best three A-levels grade of E (worth 11.04 points) suggest that outcomes are modest. For families prioritising strong academic progression, this data is a clear red flag compared with what other Islington sixth forms deliver.
