About Laurus Grace

Laurus Grace photo

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 move towards our full cohort of students when the new building is completed and occupied by the school.

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.

Commitment to safeguarding

Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff, volunteers and trustees to share this commitment.

Our recruitment process follows the keeping children safe in education guidance.

Offers of employment may be subject to the following checks (where relevant):
childcare disqualification

You must tell us about any unspent conviction, cautions, reprimands or warnings under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975.
