About Melrose School

At Melrose, we cater for pupils with social, emotional, mental health needs and many have additional challenges and diagnoses and present with difficulties in social communication and emotional regulation.  We pride ourselves on the specialist support and nurturing environment we offer which enables pupils to access tailored support and learning so that each young person is able to engage positively in education and fulfil their potential. 


Within our Primary provision, we have four mixed-aged classes.  Each class has a teacher and two teaching assistants with class sizes of around six pupils. All pupils access the National Curriculum which is adapted and delivered creatively to support learner engagement.  Specialist SALT and OT provision is integrated into the primary curriculum. In Year 7, we run a ‘nurture class’ which bridges the transition from primary into secondary education.  This runs similar to a primary model where pupils are taught for the majority of the school day by one teacher in their classroom with some specialist teaching throughout the week.  From Year 8 onwards, pupils work in tutor groups and access specialist teacher across the week, moving around the school. Class sizes in Secondary are around six pupils with a teaching assistant supporting each lesson. At Secondary, pupils access a GCSE pathway which is supported with a vocational offer at Key Stage 4.  Across the school we provide ‘Social Development Opportunities’ which offer structured enrichment activities to develop skills such as teamwork and resilience.  The work across our school is underpinned by our trauma-informed practices. 


We welcome all prospective candidates for a telephone call or visit where you can find more information about our school.
