We are a small, Independent, Alternative Provision school for Key Stage 4 students with a maximum of 16 students on roll. We provide education for students who have not been able to stay in mainstream school for a variety of reasons, including anxiety, school refusal, SEND (including Autism), permanent exclusion due to SEMH needs or those at risk of permanent exclusion.

We provide a nurturing, caring environment for young people who have had difficult education journeys, and we are proud to be recognised as a Trauma Informed school with TIS UK and an Attachment Aware Gold school.
We are a day provision for students who typically have SEMH needs. We place equal value on the educational, social and psychological development of our students and use a whole school community approach to help vulnerable young people to do better than their circumstances may have predicted by developing academic resilience.

We aim to build skills, gain confidence and self-esteem and experience acceptance and success before moving on to college, apprenticeships and employment.

We offer a bespoke curriculum tailored to individual student needs and interests. We work on the principle that young people can thrive and achieve when they are able to recognise and experience positive relationships, build and develop resilience and have access to a range of creative and educational resources.
