The Haven School is an independent Special School for children and young people with an EHCP where the primary need is social, emotional and mental health. Our pupils can come to us at any stage in their school career from 11 to 19 years of age.
The point at which they are admitted will vary according to past experiences in other educational settings and possibly also as a result of home circumstances. Our ethos is governed by our total commitment to supporting our young people to become successful citizens by helping them overcome previous negative experiences.
We want our pupils to be happy in school because this is the first step to becoming successful. While this may not be considered a "smart target" we believe it is important. Previous negative experiences in school can stay with a child for a long time and some never recover. Our aim is to turn this around and we are successful at this.
When we see pupils arriving at school who smile at staff, have a conversation and proceed happily to their lessons we know we are on the right track. Our outcomes speak for themselves and our last year's leavers all achieved accredited exam results, including GCSEs, and went on to further education or training.
