Anonymous  +  805573 Sat, 04 Jul 09 08:16 AM Hi,   Could someone please clarify when I use a capital with the word academy when writing about the academy that I work in. For example:   'The Academy has over 700 pupils. As a member of the academy, you will be expected to..'   or should this read ''The Academy has over 700 pupils. As a member of the Academy, you will be expected to..'   I am not sure whether the second 'academy' should be capitalised, as it is a common noun? Can anyone help with the rules here?
