Our programme is designed to reduce students’ social isolation, build their confidence and get them back on an academic track, raising their ambitions and interest in learning.
Our Performance Outcomes
We support a very diverse group of young people, many of whom have been out of education for several months or years. When our students join us, they have missed extensive periods of schooling. Accordingly, their attainment levels are usually well below the national average for their age. All our students have an EHCP with needs in one or more of the following categories:
- 01.
Communication & Interaction
- 02.
Cognition & Learning
- 03.
Social, Emotional & Mental Health
- 04.
Sensory & Physical
It is therefore important to view performance not just in terms of academic attainment.
