Some children don’t thrive at mainstream school and struggle to cope in that type of environment. Most of our students will have tried mainstream school and may have been at Pupil Referral Units; neither setting will have worked well for them.

The idea of the Releasing Potential Community is a central one, and includes staff and young people. We work very hard to maintain a warm, caring atmosphere where everyone feels valued and everyone is safe to make mistakes, providing they are honest about them and prepared to learn from them going forward.
