Our Vision

We want all our students to achieve their fullest potential, both academically and personally.

Our educational staff, multi-disciplinary team of therapists, and support team, work together to create an environment that meets the holistic needs of children who have difficult or complex life stories. By delivering the best features of a special school and alternative provision coupled to innovative educational and therapeutic frameworks we can help our students thrive.

We believe that children don’t have to be bound by the past, but can build a bright future if they have the right support. As a school we aspire to being outstanding, so our students can be too. It’s exemplified in our school motto:

 

‘Being The Best We Can Be’

Our Therapeutic Approach

Each child is unique, so we always tailor our provision to their individual needs. A blend of individual study and supported socialised working is aligned by using a range of therapeutic assessments and approaches. Our therapeutic approach to education is designed to improve the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of students. Find out more about how our multi-disciplinary team and their innovative methods help our students.

Our Curriculum

To ensure our students enjoy and benefit from their education, we’ve designed a curriculum that combines educational best practice with leading theories and research from child development, neuroscience, coaching, and other areas. The aim is that all students reach an outstanding level of education relative to their abilities and starting points. The small size of our schools, the personalised nature of our teaching, and the expertise of our team, means that we offer a unique education for children who struggle in mainstream schools.

How We Work With Families

The best outcomes for children happen when we have a close relationship with their carers. This allows us to build a holistic approach to encouraging a child’s academic and emotional growth because we can support parents and carers to better understand their child’s needs. Our Family Practitioner works with families, arranging both one-to-one sessions and parent support group sessions. In both settings the Family Practitioner provides advice and knowledge covering many of the topics that can affect a child’s home life to help parents and carers develop strategies that will help their child grow and develop.
