Greig City Academy

Greig City Academy is a mixed-sex secondary school in the London borough of Haringey. It has around 1,100 pupils on its roll.

As well as a busy main school, the Academy includes a thriving Sixth Form with links to Russell Group and other universities as well as specialist sports and arts colleges. More than 85% of sixth formers go on to higher education, including Oxford and Cambridge.

Its outdoor education programme is supported by the Greig Trust. The programme enables students across the school to experience activities such as abseiling, mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, rock climbing and much more. In particular, the school has its own fleet of boats, several of which are moored in the Solent. The school was the first and only state school to compete in the 2017 Fastnet Race. It will compete in the 2019 race with crew members aged 13 and up. @GCASailingClub.

Greig City Academy is the only state school in Haringey to offer a classics course and a Latin GCSE. The school is also part of the Mandarin Excellence Programme.

The Greig Trust and the Church of England co-sponsor the Academy. David Greig, a successful local businessman, founded the Greig Trust in memory of his mother in 1949. The school receives sponsorship for STEM from the Worshipful Company of Tallow Chandlers Livery Company.

Sixth-former Montel Fagan-Jordan was awarded Young Sailor of the Year in January 2018.

For the 2025-26 Season, and having the year before being named ISC Young Skipper of the Year, GCA alumnus Kai Hockley was selected to represent the Great Britain SailGP Team
