Every child deserves the right education
For over two decades, I have been driven by a simple but unwavering belief: every child deserves an education that understands them, values them, and refuses to give up on them. Edgewood Academy has been founded with that belief at its core.
Edgewood is not simply another school. It is a purposeful, specialist provision designed to transform outcomes for children with SEND who need something different — something more relational, more responsive, and more innovative.
Our vision is to provide a calm, structured, and aspirational environment where pupils rebuild confidence, rediscover success, and are supported to reintegrate into mainstream education wherever possible.
“This is a school with heart, with ambition, and with purpose. Edgewood Academy is a place where barriers are understood, strengths are celebrated, and futures are rebuilt.”
Built around every child
Every aspect of Edgewood Academy has been designed to create an environment where all children — regardless of need — feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow.
Therapeutic Environment
A calm, structured setting grounded in emotional regulation and well-being. Every interaction helps children feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
1:1 iPad Innovation
Every child has their own iPad. Apple technology ignites creativity, communication and engagement with world-class accessibility tools.
Truly Inclusive
Inclusion is not a slogan — it is a daily commitment. High academic expectations with therapeutic understanding and cutting-edge pedagogy.
SEND Specialists
Purpose-built provision for children with SEND. Our vision is to rebuild confidence, rediscover success, and support reintegration into mainstream.
