Evolve Academy

About Evolve Academy

Evolve Academy is an all-through alternative provision in Lambeth, providing education for pupils who have been excluded, ill or have other reasons for not receiving suitable education. We have two sites – an SEMH site in West Norwood and a PRU site in Kennington. We believe that every child deserves a second chance and strive to find a qualification that engages everyone.

"Outstanding support and care"

The support and care that the staff at Evolve Academy have shown my son have been outstanding. He has made great progress and I'm so proud of him. The school's focus on life skills and emotional well-being has been invaluable.

"Evolve Academy has been a game-changer for my son"

I was hesitant to send my son to Evolve Academy, but the staff have been fantastic. They have helped him turn his life around and he's now on track to achieve his GCSEs. The peripatetic music sessions have also been a great bonus!

"Mixed experience"

I have mixed feelings about Evolve Academy. My child attended the school for a year and made some progress, but there were times when I felt that they could have done more to support him. The staff were generally friendly, but there were some communication issues.
