The school provides high-quality, positive, and relevant educational experiences for children and young people aged 11–19 who have ongoing social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties, alongside associated complex needs. The provision focuses on supporting students both academically and emotionally, helping them to develop confidence, resilience, and essential life skills.
