Business, Academic & Community Links

At Westminster Academy, we aim to help young people follow their chosen future pathways. A wide range of partners support that aim.

Business linksRebel1

Our business partnerships give our students a real sense of life in the modern world of work. They include links with organisations such as Sidley Austin, Unloc, VISA, Construction Youth Trust, Fitzrovia Youth in Action, Rebel Business School, Making tROL5he Leap, Bain and Mosaic. Those links provide an array of opportunities for students to work closely with highly successful business people, including mentoring programmes and skills workshops.

Academic links

WA's higher education links - including the Imperial College Reach Out Lab, the London Centre for Languages and Culture, and Oxnet - provide opportunities for students to gain unique insights into tertiary education. For example, hundreds of our WA science students work with Imperial College scientists at the Reach Out Lab every year!  Our students visit universities and colleges in London and beyond to help inform their decisions about the post-secondary pathways.
