Welcome to Charlton Park Academy
Charlton Park Academy is a specialist special educational needs (SEN) school in South East London, supporting young people with complex and low-incidence special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
We are an established and experienced provider of specialist education and support, with a dedicated team who understand the individual needs, strengths and aspirations of every young person. We work closely with students, families and professionals to create a supportive environment where young people can learn, develop their independence and achieve their potential.
A Proud History
Charlton Park Academy has a long history of supporting young people in London. Our story began in the early 1900s as part of the Open Air School movement, providing education and support for young people with medical needs.
Today, we continue this tradition by providing high-quality specialist education and care. We are committed to continually improving our provision, strengthening our partnerships with families and working with our wider community to achieve the best possible outcomes for our students.
Experienced and Friendly Staff
Our friendly, experienced staff have specialist knowledge of supporting young people with a wide range of complex special educational needs and disabilities. Many of our staff have specialist qualifications and extensive experience in specialist education.
We invest in ongoing training, professional development and mentoring to ensure our team has the skills and knowledge needed to provide the highest standards of education, care and support.
Excellent Facilities and Partnerships
We are continually developing our specialist school facilities and learning environments to meet the changing needs of our students. By working closely with families, professionals and our community partners, we create opportunities for young people to develop their skills, confidence and independence.
We are proud of the achievements of our students, and it is always wonderful to hear from former students and families who return to share their news and successes.
Supporting Future Aspirations
At Charlton Park Academy, we look beyond the classroom. We support young people and their families both now and in the future, helping students to develop skills for life, build confidence, prepare for adulthood and achieve their aspirations.
We want every young person to have the opportunity to lead a happy and fulfilling life, pursue their interests, develop their talents and reach their full potential.
We hope you enjoy exploring our website and discovering more about Charlton Park Academy, our students, our specialist provision and the work we do with families and our community. We are committed to becoming a true centre of excellence in specialist education, inclusion, wellbeing and support for young people with SEND.
