About Us

We provide a home from home approach, so students feel comfortable in our setting but also align ourselves with many of the practises of mainstream education. We place a special focus on mentoring, prevention and Outreach, whilst also ensuring students’ academic needs are met and celebrated. Our staff are trained in Trauma Informed Approaches and youth mental health. We take a holistic approach to supporting young people and are proud of our values. Our values are safety, kindness, inclusivity, respect, courage and curiosity.
