Central London revealed as first home of new ai-enabled primary school model in global roll-out

London will become the first home to a new global primary school model combining core academics with real-world application, giving families meaningful choice in how their children learn

Co-located at Olympia with Wetherby Pembridge, the AI school model will help children learn up to three times faster1, and teach life skills such as financial literacy, entrepreneurship, public speaking and problem-solving

This marks the first step in the global roll-out, with further locations set to follow across Lisbon, Milan, Madrid, Mexico City, São Paulo and Auckland.

London is set to become the first home to a new future-focused global primary school model – as Inspired Edge Academy™ London today announces its launch at Olympia, Central London.

The new global Inspired Edge model is designed to give families meaningful choice in how their children learn from an early age, offering strong academic foundations through AI-enabled learning of the core curriculum, alongside the confidence and real-world skills needed for the world they are growing up in. Opening in September 2027, Inspired Edge Academy London will be co-located at Olympia with Wetherby Pembridge and will operate as a separate Inspired schooling stream for primary-age pupils. It represents the first real-world implementation of the model, with further locations set to follow across Lisbon, Milan, Madrid, Mexico City, São Paulo and Auckland.

The inaugural cohort of local London students will be the first to experience the new personalised learning framework at Inspired Edge Academy™ London – spending mornings focusing on core curriculum mastery (including English, Maths, Science, Computing, Languages), with afternoons dedicated to life skills such as financial literacy, entrepreneurship, public speaking and real-world problem solving. This time could be spent building a drone, launching a small business concept or even learning how to run an Airbnb.

The programme is tailored to each child’s individual needs. Progress will be based on mastery rather than age, supported by AI-enabled adaptive learning platforms which enable children to learn up to three times faster than traditional models.

Mike Lambert, Global Education Director, Inspired Education, said: “London is the ideal place to bring Edge to life. It’s a city that demands adaptability and confidence to succeed, and education needs to keep pace. At Edge, children progress through learning at their own pace, while spending dedicated time applying that knowledge through real-world projects. The result is not just academic confidence, but a genuine love of school and the practical skills needed for life in London and beyond.”

Nadim Nsouli, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Inspired and Founder of Inspired Edge Academy™, said: “Education must evolve to reflect the world children are growing up in, not the world as it was. By design, Inspired Edge Academy is offering families a new choice by rethinking the model from the ground up, combining personalised learning, adaptive technology and real-world application. We are excited to bring the first iteration of the model to London - but it’s just the beginning, as we bring overdue change to education systems globally to prepare children around the world for what’s next.” The programme is designed by Inspired, a global group of 125 premium schools educating more than 95,000 students worldwide.
