Many children have experienced a level of trauma and with attachment related history. Often these early experiences have meant a very disrupted educational experience and our expertise means that we are able to provide an educational approach that will enable children to make progress in all areas of their well-being as well as academic progress. 

By having a child centred environment, schools are able to meet the individual learning needs of all students. This is done through a creative curriculum with variety that supports the development of physical, cognitive, emotional and social skills. Lessons are made fun and interactive with a focus on emotional development. Schools have a high ratio of learning support staff with teachers in each class - children are given the care and support they need.

By creating a nurturing environment that focuses on building quality relationships with students, students flourish and achieve their full potential.
