Summary

Centre Academy London is an independent special school located in Wandsworth, London, catering to mixed-gender students aged 11 to 19. With a current enrolment of 50 pupils and a capacity for 60, the school focuses on providing tailored educational experiences for students with a range of learning challenges, including ASD, ADHD, dyslexia, and anxiety. The school’s ethos prioritises individualised learning, grouping students by ability rather than age, which fosters a supportive environment where students can thrive academically and personally.

The curriculum follows the National Curriculum, offering GCSEs and vocational options to ensure that all students can achieve appropriate qualifications. Class sizes are kept small, typically between 4 to 10 students, allowing for significant individual attention from experienced teachers who specialise in special educational needs (SEN). This approach aims to build confidence and self-esteem while addressing each student's unique learning style.

Centre Academy promotes a caring and inclusive community where students feel valued and understood. The school environment encourages social connections and personal growth, helping students develop essential coping skills and a sense of belonging. Through this supportive framework, students are prepared for their future pathways, whether that be further education, apprenticeships, or other opportunities.
