School Description

The Harbour is a special school for boys with social, emotional and mental health needs. A small number have autistic spectrum disorder. Many pupils join the school at different stages in their school career, having had a disrupted education in their previous school. All pupils have an education, health and care plan. Most pupils are of White British heritage and speak English as their first language. Pupils attend from all over Cambridgeshire and sometimes from outside the county. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported by the pupil premium is well above average. A small number of pupils in key stage 4 are educated off site at Cambridge Regional College. Two pupils are currently completing an online learning programme through Academy 21.
