Overview
Set in the peaceful Leicestershire countryside, we offer day school places for pupils between the ages of 8 and 18 who have social, emotional and mental health needs or autism.
Our aim is very simple: we want to equip every pupil with the skills and knowledge they need to lead healthy, productive lives. This is summed up in our motto – "Discover Potential – Enjoy Success – Prepare for Life". Many of our pupils have very complex needs and challenging circumstances, but we always look beyond the issues to see their innate potential within and give them the chance to experience a range of opportunities so they can be the best they can be.
Curriculum
Our school motto is "Discover potential, enjoy success, prepare for life". We aim to provide a wide-ranging education based on one concept – meeting the academic, social and emotional needs of our pupils. Through this they can start to flourish, build resilience and character through experiencing success and then be ready on leaving us to progress to adult life at college and later employment and finally as future parents.
We have a Lower School that caters for pupils from Year 3 to 7. From Year 8, students move to Upper School on the Main School site and this includes separate Key Stage 3 and 4 areas and a separate wing for our Nurture groups.
The curriculum is delivered through everything the school does.
Academically, the school uses three pathways to meet the needs of pupils, and pupils move between these streams where best suited to meet their needs at any given time:
- Nurture
- Standard Pathway
- Vocational Plus
