We're really proud of you all! I m delighted and proud to be Headteacher at Consilium Evolve. Evolve is a specialist Alternative Provision Academy which caters for secondary age students who experience emotionally based school avoidance. But our academy is so much more than that.
We nurture each student to encourage them to take their place in the world, whatever that might be, despite any barriers they have encountered.
