Forest Moor School is a specialist provision for children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs for a wide area in North Yorkshire. The school is located at an attractive, spacious setting on rolling hills in Menwith Hill. The school joined Wellspring Academy trust in July 2021 and now has access to a wide range of support and experts from across the trust. As part of that conversion nearly one Million pounds has been invested in the building to make it more vibrant and fit for purpose for an SEMH provision. As a result, numbers have increased and we expect to have around 87 students on roll by Christmas.
Our aim is to provide the best possible care and education that we can for children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Unconditional Positive Regard is at the centre of what we do and we are creating an academy that is welcoming, caring, safe, warm and believes that all its pupils can be supported and empowered to succeed.
We are creating individual and personalised pathways for our students that are built around their varied needs that will help them achieve positive outcomes and prepare them for their onward destinations into continuing education, work or training. In order to achieve this we are developing a curriculum that provides opportunities for academic progression as well as vocational learning, whilst being engaging, creative, and innovative.
We see strong relationships with students, parents, carers and the wider community as the key to our success – and we ensure that our academies are welcoming safe places for children to learn and prosper. We believe in working closely with our families and carers and welcome their support, but also realise that at times they will need our support too. We work closely with North Yorkshire LA and other agencies and schools to make sure we do all we can to make learning and life the best it possibly can be.
