School Description

This school helps to transform young lives. Pupils who previously did not engage in education now do so. Pupils are proud that they attend school every day. Pupils feel accepted and they say that they can be who they are. Pupils are supportive of one another. New Skill Centre is a friendly and safe place. There are few incidents of bullying. If bullying should occur, pupils are confident adults will resolve issues. The atmosphere in the school is calm and purposeful. Pupils behave well. They learn the social skills they need to thrive. Many confidently talk to visitors. Pupils receive appropriate support for managing their social, emotional and mental health needs. Some pupils attend on a part-time basis while still accessing education in their mainstream school. There is an increasing recognition in the local area that pupils are helped to ‘come out of their shell’ and be successful. Pupils are happy and settled. They are learning well. Several parents now want their children to stay for post-16 education. Pupils are well prepared to secure the next steps in education, employment and training.

New Skill Centre Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK. Contact the school directly or visit their website for more information on Admissions Policy and Procedures.
