What do people say about us?
I like being at Physis Academy because they care about more than just education and they listen to us.
We learn a lot and have good experiences too. I really like cooking in the kitchen.

AB Student at Physis Academy
Physis provided my daughter with a safe place to attend education which suited her needs. In mainstream settings her behaviour became a struggle. Now, she has grown into a young person who has high ambitions and is willing to put in the work to achieve her goals.

Our young people have found mainstream education difficult to access for a variety of reasons. Physis provides an excellent alternative and encourages the young people to thrive both in school and at home.

I was a bit nervous when I first joined Physis because everything was new. Now I am really happy because I made great friends quickly and the staff are really kind. My favourite subject is PE because we get to do things we wouldn't in other schools.
