The secondary school, in Merton Road, was not available for comment this afternoon but a receptionist said the principal - understood to be Jacqueline Valin - would call back with a statement.
A statement was later run on the website shortly before 5.20pm saying:
"As some of you may be aware already an incident occurred outside the school earlier today. The student involved is in a stable condition.
"If you or your child have any information about this incident then please telephone 101 and ask for Wandsworth CID.
"Jackie Valin, Principal & Wanda Golinska, Headteacher"
A spokesman for the London Ambulance service said: "We were called at 3:14pm to Merton Road to reports of a stabbing.
"We sent an ambulance crew to the scene.
"We treated a patient at the scene and took them as a priority to a hospital in South London."
The academy is run by Aspire.
