Welcome to Unified Academy

We are a special school for boys aged 9 to 16 who have social, emotional and mental health needs, and all of our students have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). At Unified Academy, students are at the centre of every decision we make. Our aim is to support each young person to become a confident, respectful and well‑rounded adult with high aspirations for their future.

We offer a highly personalised approach to education, carefully tailored to meet the individual needs, abilities and interests of our students. Class sizes are small, with no more than ten students per teaching group, enabling staff to deliver purposeful, engaging and well‑structured learning. Alongside teaching staff, classroom assistants provide additional support, helping students to build confidence and self‑esteem while developing academically, socially and emotionally.

Our students have access to a range of therapeutic support, including Trusted Adults, Emotional Literacy Support Assistants (ELSAs) and Canine Assisted Learning (CAL). We also have full‑time Home School Link Workers (HSLWs), who work closely with families to support behaviour, attendance and access to wider Health and Social Care services.

At Unified Academy, we nurture and encourage every student to make the most of their school experience. We value and celebrate their individuality, strengths and achievements.

We are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people. Safeguarding is at the heart of our culture, and we work tirelessly to ensure that every student feels safe, respected and supported. All staff receive regular safeguarding training, and we work in close partnership with families and external agencies to maintain the highest standards of care and protection.

If you are considering a place at Unified Academy for your son, please get in touch with us at info@unifiedacademy.org or call 01737 215 488.

Testimonials

The staff at this school have been amazing with my son from year 7 all the way to year 11. Understanding, sensitive and flexible to his needs. They have gone over and above to make sure he accesses education and continues to grow emotionally and socially. I couldn’t be prouder of the man he’s becoming - Thank you.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to you and all the support you have given my son (and me). He came to you a shell of a boy, with very little confidence not knowing who he was and he felt he was not capable of much at all. He is now leaving more confident, happy and able to discuss his difficulties openly and going to college. I have my boy/young man back.
Thank you so very much.
