Phoenix Academy can accept students at anytime during the academic school year, subject to availability.

Parents and prospective students are invited to pop in and visit the school at anytime during the school day. Subject to the school timetable we will endeavour to give you as much time as possible to view the school and ask any questions you may have about the education and life of the school.

The process for enrolment into the school requires that we receive a completed application form followed by carers/parents and their children attending an interview with the Head Teacher.

Once a student has become enrolled we will carry out a set of assessments to enable us to start a new student off at the exact stage of learning appropriate to their needs. This unique curriculum allows every child to do this. It also enables us to start an individual learning plan, allowing parents to see the stages we will expect their child to reach.

For younger children of reception age the learning process is different and therefore they will be joining with a class of their age group, to learn to read phonetics, to develop handwriting skills and learn recognise numbers. The learning through the individualised system begins once they have mastered these skills.

At Phoenix Academy we aim to make learning fun not only covering your student’s academic education but developing their self-esteem, social skills and moral values.

Motivation – Learning should be seen as an adventure that will last for the rest of our lives. We believe that students respond to praise and encouragement, flourishing in this kind of environment.

Self – Discipline – We believe that students enjoy responsibility; it helps them to feel adult. We encourage students to care for one another, sharing, helping each other with tasks. A reward system is used to reward good behaviour rather than focusing on punishing bad. All the students work together to create a caring environment where no student is excluded.

Respect for other people – Students are encouraged to respect and appreciate each other. In our multicultural environment students learn to recognise and enjoy each other’s differences and similarities. Intolerance of any kind is not accepted from staff, students or parents. A standard is set that will help the students to value and care for others.

Achievement – We believe that it is vital to discover and develop the gifts of each student, so that they can grow in confidence through their achievements. Our system of education is tailored towards the individual development of each student rather than a particular group.

Faith – As Christians we believe that students reach their full potential through a personal relationship with God. The Christian faith pervades our attitude towards teaching, discipline and care of all the students; however, students do not have to be followers of the Christian faith to attend the school. We use a God centred curriculum and seek to teach the students what is right and wrong within a moral framework.

Phoenix Academy is an Independent Christian School based in Edmonton, North London. Established in 1974 it was known back then as New Court Christian School ans was situated in Finsbury Park.

We want to offer parents a ‘CHOICE’ children learn at their own pace in an ideal class size with a customized curriculum. Phoenix Academy believes it is important to take into account the individual nature of every child.

Welcome to our website. This website aims to provide insight into our school and the Accelerated Christian Education (A.C,E) programme, which is the curriculum we use, We will show you how it works, how it differs from mainstream education, and how it offers a better alternative for many children.

We believe children need to build their lives upon a strong foundation; parents should have
choice about where that takes place and be a part of the growth that will occur in their child as he or she progresses throughout our school.
The education we provide starts at reception age, continuing right through to school leaving age. We have had students leave us and go straight into University with the qualifications they have obtained.
We teach from a Bible-based education program called Accelerated Christian Education (A.CrE.); this aims to give students an understanding of God, the character traits of His Son Jesus and how to be more like Him, as well as providing students with a thorough education in all core and extracurricular subjects.
Bible study and prayer are central to school life. We believe the moral foundation of the Bible teaches children to love and care for each other, to understand right from wrong, and gives them an appreciation for themselves, others, and the world. We hope to install this into the children who come to our school as we believe it will make them better citizens in society when they leave.
