Laurus Grace is an Alternative Provision 11-16 Free School offering specialist provision for students with Communication and/or Interaction needs and Social, Emotional and/or Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
When full, Laurus Grace will provide a high-quality educational provision for 80 students. We plan to admit our first cohort of students in September 2024 within temporary accommodation to address the shortage of specialist places in Stockport Local Authority.

We will build upon the outstanding provision within our mainstream Trust secondary schools, to develop a high quality and ambitious curriculum offer to our students that aligns with our Trust Vision. 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.
