Our focus is on developing self-esteem and maturity alongside communication skills. With us, every student is valued and nurtured whilst working at their own level with our unique One to One and small group programme. Behaviour improves under our care, where we inspire our learners to be interested in and proud of their work, encouraging them to think and learn for themselves.
Our establishment wholeheartedly believes in every student’s right to an education but that there is not one system that works for every young person.
We feel extremely privileged to be developing an exciting future for the students that we work with. Challenging conventional wisdom, the school takes pride in commitment to the individual student - every student is valued and encouraged to develop their own character and talents to the full.
Confidence and maturity are nurtured by experienced academic and pastoral staff, along with an atmosphere of opportunity; enquiry; equality and diversity; and excellent structures of care for our students. Our primary duty is safeguarding all students at West Midlands Education and Skills.
Helping every student fulfil their potential is the hallmark of our school – progress and success are fundamental to what we strive to do. The wide range of experiences and enrichment that we offer make for cheerful and self-disciplined students who have an appetite for discovery and ambition for Further Education and employment. Every student will receive the benefits of a personal education and skills tutor who will monitor progress at frequent intervals, encourage good learning and challenge and affirm as appropriate.
The effectiveness of our approach is evident in the achievements of our students, both academically and socially. Many of the students who are referred to the One-to-One programme have had long periods of non-attendance at several different schools, yet the current attendance figure for the One-to-One programme is higher, and with the focused individual support most quickly progress through qualifications which would otherwise have been inaccessible to them.

We believe in MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER by starting from our students’ interests, prior knowledge and aspirations. Working closely with students, we can build reciprocal respect and trust, offering guidance and encouragement to reach the goals that our students deserve.
W - Whole Student Impact: an interwoven web of knowledge, facts and understanding alongside key employability and life skills whilst boosting wellbeing and self-esteem.
M - Making Lasting Imprints: the positive impact that carefully considered lessons have on students academically, pastorally and socially to prepare them for life in Modern Britain.
E - Enrichment Focused: taking learning outside of the classroom to inspire and contextualise learning, making valuable connections that will support lifelong learning.
A - Aspirational Learning- a focus on what the student aims to achieve in their next step of Further Education (FE), apprenticeships or employment, supporting them to reach their potential.
S - Strong Connections: using repetition, recall and representation, we embed key facts and functional skills in our pupils’ long term memories whilst connecting through trust and respect.
Welcome to our school website, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about our community.
I am both proud and privileged to lead a dedicated team committed to supporting children and young people with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. Our school is a nurturing, inclusive environment where every student is valued, respected, and encouraged to thrive.
As a school, we are passionate about helping each young person reach their full potential—academically, socially, and emotionally. We understand that every student is unique, and we work hard to provide personalised support, tailored learning, and positive relationships that build confidence, resilience, and self-belief. This is provided through a one to one programme.
Supporting students with their wellbeing and self-esteem is our priority and our Mental Health Champion has undergone a wealth of training to offer this support. Our talented, caring tutors also offer aspirational qualification-based training alongside the National Curriculum, weaving in a range of enrichment opportunities, such as outdoor activities, creative and therapeutic sessions, guitar tuition and home cooking skills. Importantly, students are not tied to the classroom to conduct their learning.
Together with our staff, families, and wider support networks, we aim to create a safe and caring space where students can learn, grow, and feel proud of who they are.
Thank you for your interest in our school. If you would like to learn more or arrange a visit, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
