• The ability to intervene in difficult situations and challenge young people in an appropriate manner, promoting positive attitudes and behaviours.

The school provides full time education for pupils between 11-16 who are permanently excluded, at risk of permanent exclusion or otherwise cannot access a mainstream curriculum.
