Bromley Beacon Academy - Orpington

This school offers special provision for children with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.

Split across two re-developed campuses in Orpington (KS2–3) and Bromley (KS 4–5), pupils are supported to learn in a safe and happy environment.

For KS1 (Y2) children, we have a hub at Bromley Trust Academy offering specialist SEMH provision.

Orpington Campus

At this recently re-developed site, our 5–13-year-old pupils are supported to develop core literacy and numeracy skills, alongside a broad curriculum to inspire, motivate and interest them.

We prioritise emotional and mental health within every aspect of school life – policies & environment, curriculum, special events & campaigns – to positively impact outcomes for pupils. Our extensive therapeutic services are available to all, with individual support and intervention where needed.

Our specialist staff have high expectations of every pupil, while taking a nurturing and encouraging approach to help them reach their potential. We focus on building strong and effective partnerships with parents, carers and other agencies – with the belief that education of our young people is a shared responsibility.

The majority of pupils progress into Key Stage 3 and 4 provision on our Bromley site, via a seamless transition. Once here, their individual needs continue to be well supported, enabling them to reach their full potential.
