Personalised Learning for Every Young Person
As a small and specialist provision with very low learner-teacher ratios and scope for 1:1 support, we are able to differentiate the curriculum for each young person. Every timetable is designed around individual needs, abilities, aptitudes and interests, ensuring that learning is meaningful and engaging.
Pathways to Progress and Achievement
All young people study Maths and English. Functional Skills is our default route to qualification, chosen because it’s practical, achievable and geared towards real life – GCSE is also available for those whose baseline assessment shows they’re ready for it. Either way, every pupil works towards a Level 2 qualification in both subjects by the end of Year 11.
Beyond the core subjects, learning comes to life through hands-on, themed enrichment programmes – from music, cooking & hospitality and textiles to animal care, history and digital design – alongside ASDAN courses and AQA Unit Awards that let each young person build a portfolio around what genuinely interests them.
Our Offering - Curriculum Areas
Our full, up-to-date curriculum offering can be found in our school prospectus.
We review and refresh our curriculum and subject offering regularly to reflect the needs and interests of our cohort of young people.
New in 2026-2027
Outdoor Skills and Learning: A full day each week spent outdoors at a fantastic off-site outdoor learning facility — building real bushcraft and countryside skills, growing food on the allotment, and connecting with nature across the changing seasons, with the group cooking and eating together every session.
Therapeutic Music Programme: A fun and engaging weekly music session where our young people explore genres and artists, try their hand at instruments including piano, drums and guitar, and build confidence and self-expression through music — as much about wellbeing as it is about skills.
Cooking & Hospitality: We’ve expanded our Food Technology offer to include real hospitality and food service experience — from running café-style sessions to planning and hosting events for guests, such as a community coffee morning or an afternoon tea. It’s food technology with a genuine world-of-work edge, building practical skills our young people can carry into future employment.
