About Aspire Academy Bexley
This small special school caters for primary-age children with social, emotional and/or behavioural needs. We promote inclusion in the widest sense, supporting pupils and their families to access the best possible education and prepare them for transition at every stage.
Many of our pupils have had negative experiences of mainstream school, so we work hard to ensure they are safe, happy and able to reach their full potential. Our specialist team does this by encouraging the children to form meaningful relationships and develop the emotional resilience needed to overcome barriers and challenges.
We work hard to make sure learning is both engaging and relevant. As well as a focus on core literacy and numeracy skills, we ensure that our pupils have the opportunity to experience a wide range of activities both inside and outside the classroom. This includes regular trips, sports clubs and forest school through to science workshops, Children’s University and School Council meetings.
Our curriculum is creative, rich and offers challenge at all levels. It covers the full National Curriculum and, where appropriate, pupils access national tests (such as SATS and phonics screening) in line with mainstream school settings.
Wellbeing and achievement are at the centre of our approach. Staff encourage pupils to embrace opportunities and become productive members of our local community – with high aspirations and ambition for their futures.
