At LEAP, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. Our students come to us at various points during their time at school usually as a result of their previous school placement having broken down, whether through ill-health, behaviour issues or other difficulties frequently feeling less than positive about themselves and their life chances.
Our job is to help get them back on track, either through a return to regular schooling or by completing Year 11 with us, so that they emerge prepared to make a positive contribution wherever they go next. We aim to provide equality and equity for all students that we work with.
We aim to be both a place of safety: a home for students and an environment where students are able to learn effectively in order to be empowered to be able to make better life choices and enjoy success in the future. I hope you find our website useful, please don't hesitate to contact us directly for further information and support.
