It is a co-educational school for pupils of 11+ years, and specialises in International Business and Enterprise.^[1] The school was created, along with nearby Paddington Academy, following the closure of North Westminster Community School.

The new site is in the Westbourne Green area. The architects are Allford Hall Monaghan Morris.^[2]
