The centre’s vision is to inspire and enable all students to achieve their full potential.

At KS3 the focus of centre work is to re-engage the students with their learning and reintegrate them into a mainstream school or appropriate setting. The teaching support team works closely with all stakeholders in supporting students who are experiencing emotional, social, behaviour challenges that are impacting on their school success.

Students are offered a wide variety of opportunities for accreditation, including GCSE courses (OCR, Pearson, AQA) and a number of Vocational courses (City and Guilds, BTEC, etc.)
