About the School

It offers a nurturing, relational, and inclusive environment underpinned by values such as Independence, Self-regulation, Honesty, Acceptance, Relationships, and Emotional Intelligence.

The school places a strong emphasis on pastoral support. Its Pupil Support service offers a safe space for students to step out of class when distressed, regulated through relational approaches and personalised emotional interventions.

They also adopt a trauma-informed approach, based on the principles of Protect, Relate, Regulate, Reflect, helping young people to build resilience, self-awareness, and emotional regulation.
