About the Academy
Located in North Kensington, our satellite provision at Avondale Park Primary provides a caring environment based on integrity, mutual respect, and understanding. It seeks to reignite passion in education and aspiration. Each learner is treated as an individual and is supported to develop within an environment that fosters a love of learning and the social and emotional skills needed for life beyond education.
We are a small provision for primary learners. Our students are at risk of, or have been excluded from, mainstream settings. We serve the Westminster borough and believe that success for our young people comes from our specialist approach: developing every young person’s potential for employability, building safe and healthy relationships, making positive life choices, and realising their aspirations.
Our approach considers our young people’s educational experiences to date, their social-emotional and mental health, their family circumstances, and their special educational needs (SEN). We work closely with professionals, families, and practitioners to affect positive change in our young people’s lives. We are proud of the caring, supportive, and inclusive environment we provide for our community.
