I am delighted to welcome you to The Peak Academy. The Peak Academy is situated in Dursley, Gloucestershire, and draws pupils from a range of backgrounds, both urban and rural, across Gloucestershire and also neighbouring LEAs.

The Academy is a special school for young people all of whom have a statement primarily identifying social, emotional and Mental Health needs, including a range of secondary needs such as; moderate learning communication and interaction and attachment and trauma. The Academy currently admits up to 60 pupils between the ages of 11 and 16. Through 2023-25 Reach South aim to extend this age range, working towards 5-19 as need dictates.

Underpinning this vision is our commitment to the inclusion of young people with special needs and disabilities in our society. This begins by offering an outstanding education and is supported by our commitment to lifelong learning.
