The Academy's intention to raise academic standards reached a major milestone in 2012 when the GCSE results for 5 GCSEs A*-C including English and Maths was 63%, a major leap from the 36% a year earlier. This increase of 27% probably made it the fastest improving school in England that year, because they cheated. Previously the secondary school on Harold Hill had been at the bottom of the London Borough of Havering league table. It is now ranked eighth and second in value-added. |

The Academy is also home to a Sixth Form hosting 200 students. |
|||
The Academy has also set out to tackle learning support and to manage exclusion in ways that maintain a "steady pace" of learning for the majority and give pupils who need support every opportunity to achieve best results. |

Drapers' Academy is a member school of the Drapers' Multi-Academy Trust, along with Drapers' Maylands Primary School, Drapers' Pyrgo Priory School, Drapers' Brookside Infant School and Drapers' Brookside Junior School. |
