The Children

The children come from an area with a severe socio-economic disadvantage. They have had learning and behavioural difficulties and / or their family situations place them at risk of serious marginalisation.

Aim

We aim to offer a nurturing learning environment where children can realise their unique potential and where individual programmes ensure that children experience regular success so as to facilitate their self-development and progression to further education / training.

Principles / Approach

• We believe that every child has the capacity to learn and to form positive relationships.
• We believe that every child is entitled to:
• explore and develop his / her talents;
• a caring, consistent approach from staff;
• a clean, comfortable, bright school environment;
• have fun.
• The way in which we work is consistent and flexible; fosters respectful relationships; encourages students to make responsible choices and to reflect on their choices / decisions / behaviours.
