Part of Outcomes First Group, we provide a nurturing, inclusive and highly personalised education that enables every learner to thrive.

We support learners with a range of profiles, including Autism, ADHD, speech, language and communication needs, SEMH, PDA, attachment difficulties and the impact of trauma. Through our trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming approach, we help young people build confidence, resilience, independence and the skills they need for successful futures.

Our broad curriculum, therapeutic approaches, vocational pathways and preparation for adulthood programmes ensure that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

We are proud to be a school where relationships come first, strengths are recognised and celebrated, and every young person is supported to achieve their own version of success.
