About Us

We are an independent specialist school for girls based in the heart of Camberwell South London. 

We are a special school for students with Social, Emotional and Attachment difficulties, challenging behaviour, and/or additional complex needs 

Our school provides a nurturing & therapeutic environment and personalised educational pathways to enable our students to achieve. 

The foundation of what we offer is built upon ensuring a positive, safe, therapeutic & nurturing environment which includes small classes and a high ratio of highly motivated and experienced teachers & supporting staff. 

We support our pupils by offering individual academic and mentoring support, pupil/family counselling, access to external courses and accredited foundation and GCSE courses, which are delivered on site or through links with colleges, community organisations, businesses & specialist services according to individual need.

We pride ourselves on our high level of pastoral care which we combine with high-quality teaching and a broad, balanced curriculum to ensure that the needs of each individual child are met.

PHOENIXPLACE puts praise, encouragement and reward at the heart of developing confidence in each student.

The school provides full-time education for students in Key Stages 3 and 4 directly from our home and neighbouring boroughs as well as from schools. 

Most students have Educational Health Care Plans (EHCP). However we accept non-EHCP referrals.
