History

The academy was officially established on 1 September 2006 following the closure of its 11-16 predecessor, Thamesbridge College.[1] Thamesbridge College was previously known as Ashmead School.[2][3] It was officially opened by Tony Blair on 5 December 2007.[4][5]

The new buildings were opened in 2010, with Sir John Madejski cutting the ribbon. In 2017, Madejski described financing the academy as "his proudest achievement".[6]

The academy has been found to be "inadequate" twice by the regulator Ofcom, and "requires improvement" three times.[7]

Architecture

The building was designed by international architecture firm Wilkinson Eyre[8] and it was shortlisted for an award at the World Architecture Festival 2008.[9]
