We are situated in Broadstairs and take great pride in creating a warm and friendly environment and a positive culture for learning so that our students are given opportunities to excel.

We are an established and well respected provision offering education to students aged 11-17, rated GOOD by Ofsted. Our provision is designed to offer learning within small groups (5-8 per group) and we offer a broad and balanced curriculum. We support students with a wide range of needs: ASD/ social and communication difficulties, students unable to manage a mainstream environment due to high levels of school-based anxiety or school refusal, students that require an alternative curriculum/ pathway as their cognitive ability or school experiences have resulted in them being significantly behind ARE (age related expectations) and students that may have low self-esteem and confidence.

Our role is to create an inclusive, adaptive learning environment that meets these individual needs and promotes progress, wellbeing, and engagement where all students are listened to and their needs are truly heard.
