Aims and philosophy
We place particular emphasis on progress in schoolwork, success in national examinations and mainstream standards of behaviour, which are expected for all our young people. We help them to recognise the ways in which they approach everyday difficulties and to develop ways of dealing with them that makes them happier and more successful, using emotional intelligence and effective thinking skills. We stress the importance of developing self-awareness and self-management rather than relying on external controls. We pay attention to everything that can make a difference in teaching, management or the physical environment and aim to develop the best practice in everything we do. We are committed to becoming a centre of excellence.
Staff qualification and selection
We have a caring, enthusiastic and committed staff already highly experienced in working with children with EBD. All teachers are fully qualified and care staff are qualified in NVQ/DipSW.
