Common Nouns
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?

If you use it in the first sentence, use it in the second. The option is open, but I suggest the capitalized version.
