Melksham House is proud to be part of Brunel Education - a growing educational community with “no barriers, only potential”. We strive to significantly improve the life chances and outcomes for our Children and Young People (CYP) by the application of a consistent model and approach. Building trust with children and young people is a core component of our model. Without trust, the child or young person won’t feel safe, which will in turn remove their opportunities to engage positively and build emotional resilience. Without this secure base the child or young person will not learn, know or remember, limiting progress through the planned curriculum. Our core model of support will ensure the child or young person will build trust, feel safe and subsequently learn.
For any internal Brunel candidates, please contact resourcingwiltshire@brunel.org.uk for an internal application form.
