Evelyn Grace Academy is a non-selective, co-educational secondary school within the English Academy programme, in Brixton, London.
The Academy opened in September 2008 in temporary accommodation admitting its first 180 Year 7 pupils. In September 2010 the academy moved to a new purpose built school building as it admitted its third year 7 year group. The building, designed by architect Zaha Hadid, was awarded the 2011 Stirling Prize. The school is funded by the Department for Education and owned and operated by Ark schools, a registered charity under English law, and sponsored by parent charity Ark, founded by hedge fund financiers Arpad Busson, Paul Marshall and Ian Wace.
