In its own words: "Young people in Year R - Year 9 can only be considered for our Alternative Provision if they have a clear presenting need related to Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) . Our provision is specifically designed to support learners whose primary barriers to education are emotional regulation, behaviour, mental health, or social interaction."

This provision is primarily designed for those who are on roll at a named school. We use Forest School practices to help learners develop a deeper understanding of their social and emotional needs."
