On Track Education
On Track Education provides specialist education for young people with diverse and complex needs. Established in 2004 by a dedicated team of Special Educational Needs (SEN) teachers, we now operate nine independent schools across England. At the heart of our philosophy is a commitment to providing a nurturing, personalised, and needs-led educational experience, aiming to restore young people’s self-confidence and self-motivation through flexible programmes that combine academic, vocational, and outdoor learning opportunities.
On Track Education Mildenhall
On Track Education in Mildenhall is a small independent special school for pupils aged 11 to 16 with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. The school has been established for 15 years and was last inspected by Ofsted in March 2023, receiving judgements of ‘good’ in all categories. Our pupils engage in an interesting and inspiring curriculum that leads them to gain accreditation, including a range of GCSEs, BTEC and Level 1 / Level 2 qualifica-tions. The school facilities include vocational workshops for car mechanics and woodwork, an art workshop, food technology kitchen, astro-pitch, ICT suite and other subject specific classrooms. Our pupils are taught in very small groups, or 1:1, with a high staff ratio.
With a strong focus on social and emotional development, the school adopts trusting, respectful relationships between staff and pupils, forming the foundation for meaningful progress. Its motivational and progressive curriculum is underpinned by the therapeutic principles of THRIVE®, supporting each young person’s emotional wellbeing alongside aca-demic achievement.
