Welcome to Woodside Academy - part of London South East Academies Trust

Our over-subscribed special academy offers provision for 4-19-year-olds with Autism (ASD) and moderate learning needs. All of our learners have an Education Health and Care Plan, (EHCP), and a diagnosis of autism. We are ambitious for each individual and value trust, honesty and kindness. Our calm, welcoming and purposeful environment ensures that children and young people are happy and confident and can therefore make the most of every opportunity the school provides for them to learn and succeed.

The story of the school is best told by the children some of whom join the school at very early developmental levels. Along their educational journey and due to the good work of the school, children and young people steadily build skills, knowledge, a love of reading, independence, confidence, resilience and qualifications.

Our curriculum enables the children and young people to develop academic and lifelong learning skills which empower and engage them to drive forwards into employment or future study or training. It is designed to be ambitious, personalised and to promote a love of learning and reading.

We are building a community of learners, fully inclusive of the most disadvantaged, who are resilient, independent, creative and kind. The curriculum is broad, balanced and progressive. It builds on knowledge, understanding and skills from individual start points as children progress through the school. Older pupils leave the school equipped with a range of qualifications in English, Maths, Science, PSHE and a BTEC qualification in a vocational subject such as construction, art and design, independent living skills.

We work in close partnership with other schools within LSEAT and Bexley. This enables us to make meaningful links with other educational environments, enriching the provision on offer to our children and gives us the opportunity to share best practice and strengthen educational links across the region.

We are a special academy serving children from 4-19 years with a wide range of learning difficulties, including Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and moderate learning needs. All of our pupils have a Statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN) or an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP).

Our pupils are supported by therapy teams including occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and physiotherapy. The therapists work alongside staff teams to ensure that all children and young people's needs are fully supported. 

We also have a pastoral team with a pastoral support worker who works with families and supports them through difficult and challenging times.
