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 KS 3 and KS 4 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

“This school made me feel better, made my depression feel better. Everything just seemed to fall in to place.” Alex, Year 11 student
