Welcome from our headteacher Julie Arkwight and Heather Hopkins

We are a small, specialist primary school in Bexley, providing a nurturing and supportive environment for children aged 5–11 with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. We recognise that every child is unique, which is why we take a holistic approach to their education and wellbeing.

Our dedicated team works closely with families and supporting agencies to help pupils develop confidence and essential life skills. Through high quality teaching and learning, therapeutic interventions and a focus on personal development, we support every child to progress successfully onto the next stage of their education and their lives.

  • What have been the main positives of moving to Aspire? Full time education, lots of positive rewards, smaller class sizes and a greater adult to child ratio. Staff that understand the children and their needs.

  • Aspire understands my child and meets her needs. They give the children the same if not more opportunities as mainstream children.

  • Aspire has the ability to help children quickly and resettle them when they become disregulated, his previous school couldn’t settle him at all
    Aspire Parent
  • I feel so relieved that a school finally understands my child and treats her fairly, supporting her to make good choices. Not once at her 3 years of mainstream did she get star of the week or to take the class Teddy home. Thank you for caring
