About

Charlton Park Academy is a Special Academy for students with complex, low incidence special educational needs. We are a well established and very experienced local provider of quality specialised education provision and cater for young people with complex conditions.

We originated as part of the Open Air School movement in the early 1900s, designed to support young people with medical difficulties whilst growing up in London. We have taken an important part in the successful development of many young people, families and staff over the years. We continuously aim for higher standards of education and care for our young people.

We aim to improve our support for families, in this era of austerity; as well as working together with our extended community so we can achieve greater outcomes. We have friendly and experienced staff who are familiar with working with a wide range of young people with special educational needs – most of our staff have specialist qualifications and experience.

We train and mentor all of our staff continuously to improve upon our standards of provision.

8 governors are linked to a profile (all confirmed).
