When full, Laurus Grace will provide a high-quality educational provision for 80 students.

We believe that students who have experienced setbacks within mainstream education deserve the same educational offer as their peers. This will be realised within a specialist provision through two curriculum strands:
Academic Curriculum
Our outstanding teachers and support staff will offer an ambitious core and optional academic curriculum including GCSE qualifications.
Restorative Curriculum
Our specialist and pastoral staff will offer a therapeutic-style curriculum, to develop social and emotional aspects of learning and promote positive mental health.
