Acland Burghley School is a mixed comprehensive secondary school in the Tufnell Park area of the London Borough of Camden, in London, England. The school received specialist status as an Arts College in 2000. The Good Schools Guide said that the school was "remarkable for its art and for the egalitarian effects of its anti-bullying and peer mentoring programme."[1]
The school is a part of the La Swap Sixth Form Consortium. The school has also twinned with Chianna Primary school from Ghana, and during the year donations are collected and sent to the school in Ghana, who are in need of basic educational supplies.
The exterior of the school was used as the fictional Galfast High in Steven Moffat's 1997 sitcom Chalk.[2] The school was featured on the first episode of the third series of the Channel 4 show Balls of Steel.
The school has a succsessfull Anti-bullying Campaign known as ABC. The headteacher is Jo Armitage. The school attained 47% A* to C GCSE scores last year (when?)
In 1984 and 1985, the school was closed to allow asbestos to be removed.
