About the
School
At Horizon
Academy, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity
to Learn, Grow and Thrive. As a specialist SEMH school, we are dedicated
to providing a nurturing, inclusive and aspirational environment where each
pupil can achieve their full potential — academically, socially and
emotionally.
Our vision is
simple but powerful: to give our pupils the very best educational offer. This
means delivering high-quality teaching that secures academic success,
alongside a strong focus on character education, enrichment
opportunities and careers guidance. We know that learning goes far
beyond the classroom — it’s about developing confidence, resilience, empathy
and ambition.
We are
immensely proud of our pupils and the journeys they take with us. For many,
their time at Horizon Academy represents a period of personal growth and
transformation. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to remove barriers to
learning, build positive relationships and help every pupil discover their
strengths and passions.
About the
Trust
London South
East Academies Trust is a growing and ambitious Multi-Academy Trust, currently
comprising mainstream, special and alternative provision academies, alongside
an outreach service and a music hub. Our schools are located across Bromley,
Bexley, Sussex, Lambeth and Surrey, serving a wide range of communities and
educational contexts.
Across the
Trust, our schools share a strong commitment to raising attainment, encouraging
aspiration and supporting social mobility for every pupil, throughout their
educational journey and beyond. We take a holistic but personalised approach to
education, recognising that children thrive when their individual strengths,
needs and circumstances are properly understood and supported. This enables
pupils to flourish and achieve their full potential, whatever their starting
point.
We believe
that great schools are built by great people. As a Trust, we invest in our
staff through strong professional development and leadership opportunities,
clear expectations and supportive structures. We actively encourage
collaboration and the sharing of best practice across schools, supported by
high-quality, cost-effective central services that allow leaders and teachers
to focus on what matters most: improving outcomes for pupils.
London South
East Academies Trust sits within the Elevare Civic Education Group, which also
includes a multi-campus further and higher education college, London South East
Colleges and a charitable foundation, Elevare Education Foundation. This unique
structure provides meaningful progression pathways for pupils and families, as
well as broad development and career opportunities for staff across the wider
Group.
Our teams are
united by a shared belief in the power of education to change lives. By
continuing to grow our Trust and welcoming new expertise and perspectives, we
aim to strengthen our schools further and extend the positive impact we have on
our communities.
