We provide the best elements of mainstream education with unique specialist and therapeutic input.

Our vision is to create an inclusive, welcoming learning environment where all our students can thrive. We aim to create a ‘home from home’ school that places the needs of our students first, with many joining us having experienced significant periods of absence from negative school experiences.

Our small class sizes and beautiful surroundings give us the unique opportunity to build purposeful and successful relationships with our students, allowing us to develop a bespoke school experience and curriculum path for each student while working closely with families to enable success.

• Work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team to ensure holistic support for students.

• Maintain accurate records and reports, ensuring confidentiality and data protection compliance.

• Participate in training and professional development opportunities to enhance skills and knowledge.

Requirements:
