The Children’s Academy provides an individualized education within a nurturing learning environment offering high levels of academic and therapeutic support. At the heart of the school’s ethos is the belief that the development of a positive self-image is the key to the development of a child’s full potential. To this end, the school is committed to providing an educational environment in which all children can experience success. 

The Children’s Academy is a world where children will also have their own individual Educational Plan and where targets are reviewed regularly enabling parents to understand every stage of the child’s progress.
