School Curriculum
All students enter the school on a rolling-intake, starting their programme with us at any stage during the academic year. Some students arrive with evidence of prior academic achievements, including some GCSEs; however, most of our young people will have experienced huge disruption to their education prior to their arrival here and many will have been absent from a formal educational setting for a prolonged period of time. Baseline assessments indicating severe gaps in skills or performance are not uncommon.
Most of our students have EHCPs which identify particular areas of educational need across a broad spectrum of diagnosis, including: SpLD, Dyslexia, ASD, ODD, SEBD and other complex conduct disorders. Students might also be subject to legal orders which restrict, or prevent, their access to elements of supplementary external educational provision.
​
All of these factors are considered in the preparation of each student’s timetable, which is devised to offer a bespoke educational package, relevant and pertinent to the needs of the individual.
​
We are registered with a number of awarding bodies and can offer a range of academic and vocational qualifications.

Enrichment Activities
Enrichment activities are designed to help our learners to develop their personal and social skills in a slightly different way to other learning opportunities. They may include taking part in activities that call on team-work or negotiation skills, planning, problem-solving or even a physical activity.
Enrichment days also give our learners the opportunity to take part in activities or educational visits that they might not usually choose to experience; helping them to gain a better understanding of the broad range of options available to them.
