Catering to pupils from Year 3 to Year 11, the school focuses on Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, providing a supportive environment for students. With a capacity of 90 and currently accommodating 69 pupils, the school maintains small class sizes to ensure a high adult-to-pupil ratio, allowing for tailored support and individual attention.

The school is housed in a purpose-built facility featuring modern classrooms, therapy rooms, and various specialised spaces, including a sports hall and a zen garden. Horizon Academy aims to foster a sense of worth and belonging among its students, encouraging them to excel academically and socially.
