School Description

The Grange Learning Centre is a very special place where pupils flourish. Pupils arrive at the school following significant periods of disrupted education, including very poor attendance. Leaders and staff know and understand pupils’ issues and make releasing their desire to learn the top priority. Adults get to know individual pupils’ needs and wishes. Strong and trusting relationships are developed and nurtured. Leaders have the highest expectations of what pupils can achieve academically, socially and in their personal development. Leaders work with other professionals, including experts in therapeutic care, to fully understand the young people who come into their care. Staff quickly identify pupils’ interests and gaps in their knowledge. They put in place highly personalised and ambitious educational and pastoral intervention programmes. Pupils rise to staff’s high expectations. Staff help pupils to achieve their very best. Pupils feel very safe in school. They know that staff care for them. Leaders have put in place strong pastoral systems that help to keep pupils safe. Pupils say that bullying sometimes happens. Adults deal with incidents of bullying quickly and effectively. All staff are relentless in developing pupils’ independence and resilience. They carefully identify the gifts and talents that their pupils do not realise they possess. For example, pupils become skilled horse riders, take part in talent shows and realise their ambitions of studying post-16 courses of interest. Pupils are extremely proud of their achievements.

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.
