Head Teacher's Message

The headteacher describes Adelaide Heath Academy as a nurturing environment with high expectations, small classes, and dedicated staff. The aim is to help students with SEMH turn their lives around through close collaboration with parents and agencies, emphasizing that every student can and will achieve.

Admissions Criteria

All students at Adelaide Heath Academy have an EHCP, primarily SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health), with some exhibiting very challenging behaviour; mainstream schooling is not always the most appropriate setting.
