We Offer

encouragement

All the staff will give as much encouragement and help as is possible. We all want our pupils to be happy and successful people and life long learners. Every student will have a group tutor and boarding students have a key worker. These people will take a special interest in their welfare, development and educational attainment.

achievement

The opportunity to regain self-esteem and self-confidence through achievement.

a supportive, consistent and secure environment

We set clear boundaries which, we hope, will result in a happy workplace where great and small things can be achieved.

the chance to become an active learner

This means each student must take responsibility for their own learning but it also means they are taken seriously when they voice their ideas.

challenge

This includes the challenge to improve academically and socially.

unconditional support and affection

Inevitably there will be times when we disapprove of what a youngster does we will feel disappointed by their behaviour. But we still believe in them and retain our optimism.

a broad and balanced curriculum

As far as possible on individual strengths and interests.

clubs and outings

There are lots of clubs and opportunities for outings both as part of the curriculum and for social development.

National & International Study Visits

The students have an opportunity to take part in visits to Kenya, Disney Land Paris as well as a large variety of national study and activity trips to Bedgbury, Snowdon, Derbyshire and Blacklands Farm.

qualifications

We follow the National Curriculum including GCSE and  A Level in over #? subjects. We also offer a diverse Post 16 curriculum in partnership with our local Further Education Colleges.
