Thank you for your enquiry.

We do not hold the information that you have requested about the City of London Academy. The Department for Education may be better placed to help you they are contactable via an online form at Department for Education - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

You may find this page on the internet useful as it contains some of the information you  require City of London Academy (Southwark) - Find school and college performance data in England - GOV.UK (find-school-performance-data.service.gov.uk).

Information regarding the number of people living below poverty line in Southwark and the ethnic makeup of people living in Southwark is available to order as bespoke analysis, which is subject to legal frameworks, resources, disclosure controls, and is likely to be chargeable in line with our charging policy. However, please note, due to us having a sample of around 17,000 UK households, it would not be possible for us to produce robust estimates at the granular level London Borough of Southwark. Therefore we would not recommend publishing such statistics.

However, you may be interested in small area income estimates. The financial year ending 2018 is the latest period available.

For any queries regarding bespoke income analysis and an estimate of the cost to produce, please contact hie@ons.gov.uk.
