About

Central Education is an independent SEMH day school for all pupils at Key Stage 3 and 4. We help students who have SEMH in their personal and social growth, through access to successful and proven educational, vocational and activity programmes.

Within a safe, friendly, and supportive community, our students are encouraged to develop their talents and competences, adopt a healthy lifestyle and attitude towards others. We also would like our students to cultivate a sense of responsibility for their actions, enjoy the learning process and celebrate their achievements.

Our academic, vocational, creative, and outdoor opportunities provide for a stimulating school life, and they prepare pupils to make a useful contribution to society. We offer an enviable range of sporting and recreational ventures to give the students a strong and positive focus beyond the classroom.

We strive to provide quality opportunities for our students to contribute to the wider community. The central concept within the educational programme is to meet each child's needs, assist them to achieve their own potential and overcome barriers to learning.
