Horizon Academy

Learn • Grow • Thrive

Horizon Academy is an all-through Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) school, catering for pupils from Year 3 to Year 11.

Horizon Academy is located in the heart of Newham and is a new £11.7 million purpose-built school. The site features formal and informal classrooms, therapy rooms, a family room, a behaviour support room, food technology and science rooms, a new kitchen and the latest ICT equipment, plus an internal zen garden and a sports hall. 

Most children are on full-time placements and maintain a link with their mainstream school. Pupils are taught in small classes with a high adult to pupil ratio

The school was graded 'Good' at its last Ofsted inspection (November 2022). The inspectors were impressed by the level of care that our staff show towards pupils and recognised that we have high expectations, encouraging them to excel beyond their lessons. The inspectors noted that pupils enjoy coming to the school and that our teaching staff have worked hard to develop each pupil’s sense of worth, while having a good understanding of each pupil’s social and emotional needs. The school’s provision for pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs is “innovative and successful” (Ofsted, November 2022).

We look forward to working with you to help your child achieve their best!
