About the school:


Simply Education is currently working in partnership with a SEMH provision based in Tyldesley providing education for children from a residential care background.

The school focuses on changing students' mindset and giving their students all the tools to be successful in their future.

This small setting has just a few small classrooms for young people who have disengaged with their learning due to previously experiencing trauma and bad experiences of school.

The individuals in the School are dedicated to developing students social and emotional development as well as their academic achievement.

The school understands that the conventional classroom environment is not in the best interests of the students therefore there is a huge emphasis on vocational and hands on learning opportunities.

Young people in the setting thrive on sessions including team building, sports and tutor sessions focusing on increasing confidence and self esteem.
