Our Secondary Provision has placements for young people from year 7 to year 11. We have two classes split by age/ability and within these classes there are mixed year groups. We specialise in supporting young people suffering from anxiety, depression and other mental health needs who are unable to access mainstream education.

“We never thought we’d manage to get him back into full time every day school. Back to learning.” - Link parent

Medically vulnerable students can often struggle with on-line learning, especially those students with very high anxiety. We believe that face-to-face teaching is far better as interacting with students and their families ensures a holistic approach and offers more positive reinforcement and support for highly anxious students. The provision caters for long-term KS3 and KS4 education and offers a variety of accessible qualifications which are offered based on the students' ability. Students study in small class groups of approximately 10 students although for core subjects they are generally split into smaller groups of 5-6.

Students have access to on-site counsellors and emotional progress is tracked using the

Boxall Profile and YP core assessments.
