School Description

Second Chances is a small independent day school, with a Christian ethos, in Walsall. It opened in 2004 and is registered for up 24 students aged from 14 to 16 years. It makes alternative provision for students at risk of exclusion from schools and academies in a number of local authority areas in the vicinity. All students start at the school following a period of disrupted education which has had an adverse impact on their achievement. Most students have a range of social and emotional difficulties. One student has a statement of special educational needs. All students are dual registered and are on the rolls of their host schools. There are currently eight male and nine female students on roll. One student attends the school on a part-time basis. The school makes use of the facilities and expertise at a local leisure centre for physical education lessons. The school is part of the Vine Educational Trust and its aim is ‘to be an exemplar in an educational system where young people outside traditional school can reach their full academic and vocational potential’. An executive headteacher was appointed in September 2014. A school manager, with responsibility for the day-to-day running of the school, was appointed in January 2015. The school works in collaboration with Wood Green Academy, an outstanding statemaintained academy in Wednesbury.
