Welcome to Alchemy Schools
A specialist independent school for students aged 11 to 19 years who are experiencing significant barriers to learning, or who cannot access mainstream education.
Our schools are specialist independent schools for students aged between 11 to 19 years who have or who are experiencing significant barriers to learning, or who cannot access mainstream education for whatever reason.
Many of our students are referred by Local Authorities and are in receipt of an Educational Health and Care Plan. However, some students have been identified by their mainstream provision as being at risk of permanent exclusion, whilst some have already reached that point.
Based within Kent and Medway, the locations of our schools is of paramount importance to the learning need of our students. As small schools we pride ourselves on getting to know the students an catering for all their needs including emotional, social and academic.
All students who attend our schools are provided with a safe, stimulating, and challenging learning environment, and are valued as an individual within a structured and supportive environment.
Some of our core values...

Is to provide the best education experience in our schools, where the students are given every opportunity to succeed by developing their academic and vocational abilities, creative talents, and sporting interests - a school where our challenging and diverse curriculum and innovative approach to learning and teaching, alongside our supportive pastoral care, will secure achievement and success for all.
Our commitment
We will work in partnership with parents, carers, outside agencies and local authorities as well as the wider community.
