School Vision & Mission
We aim to offer a secure and structured environment promoting positive behaviour where disaffected, disadvantaged, and young people with Specials Education Needs develop as confident and independent learners. Our overall aim is to support and facilitate the successful reintegration of pupils back into a structured education environment where they will remain for the long term or be supported and transitioned to the next school. Our work specifically targets social, emotional and behavioural skills and educational progress in order that young people achieve their full potential.
