Overview

About Phoenix Place

Phoenix Place is a small Not-for-Profit specialist school for girls with social, emotional, mental health needs, SEN, attachment difficulties and/or additional complex needs. The school supports students with ASD/Aspergers, ADHD/ADD, Anxiety, Mental Health & Emotional difficulties, Attachment Difficulties/Disorders, ODD, Speech, Language & Communication Difficulties, Learning Difficulties, adverse childhood experiences (ACE's) and Dyslexia. It provides a safe, supportive and nurturing environment to build self-esteem, confidence, and re-engage students in learning. The school offers full-time education for students in Key Stages 3 and 4, mostly with Educational Health Care Plans (EHCP), but also accepts non-EHCP referrals. The aim is to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed for successful transition to apprenticeships, college, or work.

Our take

Independent girls senior school in Southwark for ages 11–16. Non-selective intake.

Best for
  • Families seeking a senior school for ages 11–16, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
  • Parents who want a single-sex environment for their daughter.
  • Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
Watch-outs
  • Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
  • Single-sex (girls). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.
