Bright Minds Creative Academy is an independent specialist day school providing high-quality education for boys and girls. Based in Croydon, the school meets the diverse needs of pupils aged 11-16 with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs including ADHD and Autism.

Bright Minds Creative Academy supports the provision of up to 50 pupils across two sites for secondary-aged pupils. We support our students with the familiarity, predictability, structure and boundaries that they need to be successful in life.

Our school is approximately one mile from Central Croydon with transport links to East Croydon Station, South Croydon Station, and West Croydon Station. The nearest underground, metro or tram is George Street Tram Stop, Wellesley Road Tram Stop and East Croydon Tram Stop.

At Bright Minds Creative Academy, we are dedicated to preparing our students for successful futures through our comprehensive career support programme.

We look forward to supporting your child through a personalised, therapeutic learning journey to help them achieve the brightest of futures.

Book a School Visit

Make a Referral

Choosing the right school for your child is a critically important decision. We’re here to support you throughout the referral process, helping you understand how our school can meet your child’s needs. We encourage you to visit our school, meet students and staff, and ask any questions you may have.

The referral process begins when local authorities or children’s services request an assessment. After reviewing referral paperwork and documents, such as your child’s EHCP, our Senior Leadership Team works closely with local authorities and parents to determine the best way forward. Most students are referred and placed through their local education authorities, often with support from children’s services and healthcare professionals. Throughout the process, your child remains at the heart of our decisions.
