The School:
This is a Short Stay Secondary School that provides students with a curriculum that is broad and balanced but is also adapted to suit their specific needs. Students come to this school with very different levels of prior education. Many have been out of school or out of the classroom for a  significant period of time. A significant number of students have one or more Special Educational Needs including Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs which have hindered their access to learning in the past.  A significant proportion of students arrive below the DFE expected progress level and below the DFE aged expected level.
