About the School

We offer a bespoke educational provision in a nurturing environment for our secondary age students (Y7 - post 16) who are all in care of the local authority. We operate on two sites. The main site is in West Wycombe and our satellite nurture base is in the outskirts of Aylesbury. Both school sites offer safe and caring spaces for students to express feeling, emotions and anxieties that can be barriers to learning. We also offer specialist vocational learning spaces, designated teaching rooms and outdoor learning opportunities.

To meet the diverse needs of the students at our college we ensure an adequate staff to pupil ratio, with typically a class comprising of no more than 4 pupils. Each class is staffed to support all needs. As a school we value each staff member and have a belief in supporting everyone with professional development. If you are a dedicated teacher who wants to make a difference to students' life, then please get in touch and enquire more. We would welcome you to arrange a visit to the school. Any further questions, please contact us.
