We work closely with local authorities and parents to deliver alternative provision for young people. Our team of experienced teachers and teaching assistants are skilled in working with a range of learning difficulties and special educational needs. We support young people from aged 7 to 20, working closely with local authorities to ensure our provision aligns with each child's educational requirements and needs. We ensure that the team working with the young person work closely together to ensure continuity and progress and effective communication with parents and other professionals supporting the child.
Why Neurodiversity Can Be a Superpower
A Podcast with Remarkable Raffi - an ex-student - who is a rising star!
