Welcome to
At Helm Academy, we believe that every child matters. Every learning journey is important. And every young person deserves a place where they are not just accepted, but understood, supported, and inspired.
We are a bespoke independent education provider for children with special educational needs, children whose voices may have been lost in the noise of a system that couldn’t meet their needs. Many of our pupils arrive having been let down by mainstream education, told in one way or another that their needs were too complex or their challenges too great. At Helm Academy, we say: Come as you are. We will meet you there.
Our approach is different. We do not view an EHCP as a barrier, but as a blueprint and a guide to unlocking potential. We work hand-in-hand with families and professionals to interpret and action each plan with care and creativity. Our dedicated team of experienced teachers, therapists, and mental health professionals collaborate to create a truly personalised programme of education and care. Our schools are supported by an in-house clinical team, ensuring that every child receives therapeutic support tailored to their needs.
This integration of education and clinical expertise enables us to provide more than a curriculum, it allows us to offer healing, connection, and hope. We help children to re-engage with learning, rebuild confidence, and rediscover their brilliance. And through this, we open new doors, paths that may once have seemed closed.
Our ethos of “No Judgement, No Blame, No Shame” is more than a motto, it is a way of being. We nurture inclusive, trauma informed environments where children feel safe to explore who they are, and staff are empowered to deliver care and education of the highest standard.
We are proud to stand at the forefront of special educational needs provision. Helm Academy is more than a school, it is a place of possibility. A place where children matter. A place where their learning experiences are not only important to us, but they also shape everything we do.
