Refocus is an Independent Alternative Provision for 14 – 16 year olds. We specialise in alternative teaching for alternative thinkers. By having a well-balanced curriculum that offers practical learning, flexible assessment methods and vocational studies, we can ensure that all students leave us more Employable .
Embedding outstanding personal social development across the curriculum, enrichment activities and PSHE, ensures all our students leave us more Sociable . Our forward-thinking careers program gives all our students the knowledge, the skills and the opportunities for their post 16 options, illustrating they are Ready for their next steps.
Refocus was created in 2020 by four individuals who saw a need for an education setting that was practical, nurturing and achievable for those students who had previously had a negative experience of education. Since then, we have become a registered school with an Ofsted rating of GOOD. We have grown both in sites, team and student intake.
We are incredibly proud of what Refocus has achieved, our passion to Educate, Inspire and Motivate all students will continue to evolve and grow each year.
