Southfields Academy is a vibrant and inclusive non-selective 11-19 school located in the South West London area, straddling the Southfields and Earlsfield borders.
At Southfields Academy, we believe in fostering a holistic approach to education. Our curriculum is designed to offer a diverse range of academic and vocational pathways, often allowing students to pursue both simultaneously. This dual approach ensures that students are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in an ever-evolving world.

Southfields Academy is a microcosm of global diversity, with our students speaking over 50 different languages. We celebrate this rich cultural tapestry and foster an inclusive environment where every student feels valued.
Central to this is our restorative behaviour policy. This approach prioritises relationships over punishment. It involves explicitly teaching social skills, facilitating restorative conversations to address harm and find solutions, and ensuring consistent application by all staff.
We are immensely proud of our exceptionally low staff turnover. This stability is a testament to the supportive and collaborative atmosphere that permeates our school community.
Southfields Academy has a proven track record of excellence, consistently achieving either Outstanding or Good ratings from Ofsted since 2001.
