School Description

Elysian provides a unique farming environment where pupils can learn and pursue their passion for working with animals. Each pupil has their own personalised curriculum which includes vital therapy to support their mental health and wellbeing. Step by step, the school builds pupils’ resilience and self-belief. This is particularly important as many pupils have been out of school for a significant amount of time. Pupils feel at ease amidst the school’s acres of land. They speak avidly about life on the farm and how they care for horses, alpacas, goats and many more. Educationally, the school is ambitious and sets out a clear plan to meet pupils’ longer-term career goals and pinpoints the qualifications pupils will need. Staff are highly alert to pupils’ emotional needs. They read situations skilfully which can pre-empt any undesired behaviour. On the whole, pupils behave well and benefit from the school’s tight systems and routines. Where pupils’ behaviour falls short of the school’s expectations, staff seek to explore what root causes there may be. Any bullying worries raised by pupils are swiftly followed up. Pupils value the off-site visits which develop their independence and social confidence in speaking to other people. Pupils visit charity shops, garden centres, museums and learn how to travel on a bus.
