Minimising Barriers

We will help minimise the significant barriers to learning that students with SEMH, SLCN, and SPLD experience, in a high quality but calm educational and pastoral environment. This atmosphere allows students to feel safe and able to learn.

Highly Qualified Educators

Our team of fully qualified teachers and experienced TA’s have over 20 years’ experience, delivering positive outcomes for our region’s most vulnerable learners. These accredited outcomes include all Key Stages, Higher Education and Adult Education.

Continuous Support

Students have the opportunity to achieve functional skills qualifications in year 11. We can also help arrange post-16 opportunities with our network of local business partners

We provide a soft school day in a safe and calm environment focussing on core subjects and PSHE.

We also have access to extensive outdoor facilities to help break up the day and encourage a healthy lifestyle. We are a small setting and only work with small groups of students.
