Admissions policy

Students are admitted to the school who have :

• have not found success in other schools
• need something special to enable them to learn
• want to have a completely new start and a chance to succeed in going on to mainstream school, further education, employment or training when they leave us.

Pupils are admitted to school when all relevant documentation has been obtained, particularly the risk assessments. Pupils will have had difficulties in working in a mainstream school and frequently find themselves unable to relate effectively with their peers. They all exhibit challenging behaviours as a result of previous trauma in their lives and may or may not have a statement of Special Educational need.
