We believe in giving our students a bespoke, curriculum to enable them to access learning at their own pace and achieve success.

We support young people of secondary school age with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH), as well as young people with a diagnosis of Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND), ASD, ADHD and EBSA. Young people are referred to us through mainstream schools primarily located within Bradford and Leeds. We subsequently offer a bespoke curriculum to vulnerable students who have often been disengaged in education for a long time.

Our core purpose is to promote positive behaviours and provide support for young people with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties, so they feel inspired and valued to transition into adulthood.  We support students to help prepare them for the future by providing the framework of the core values, skills and knowledge that they will need to grow both socially and individually.

We are passionate about giving our young people the skills they need to make a valuable contribution to society and to fulfil their dreams. We will strive to help our students develop into mature, successful young adults, who are well supported by our team of staff.
