About

Our vision is to create a community where education is highly valued, diversity is embraced, and young people are encouraged to take control of their learning, with the support of a highly skilled and nurturing team around them.

The Tower School is located in the town of Epping, offering convenient access to the expansive woodlands of Epping Forest, as well as the well-appointed high street. The school boasts a range of on-site facilities, including specialised classrooms such as a Science Laboratory, Food Technology Kitchen, and a dedicated Immersion Room.

Additional features include a versatile hall/canteen space, therapy rooms, and a small, multi-purpose outdoor area. Our aim for the young people coming to The Tower School is quite simple; we want every young person to progress both academically and socially. We want them to develop an understanding of themselves and to experience individual success.

By doing this, we can equip every young person with the skills and knowledge they need to reach their full potential, prepare for life after The Tower School and contribute meaningfully to society.
