About

In 2022, we celebrated our tenth year as sector-leading specialists in education and therapy for pupils who have suffered adverse childhood experiences. These are known as ACEs , and include trauma and toxic stress .

Our expert team of teachers and therapists 'work as one' with pupils aged 5 to 16 who benefit from a therapeutic curriculum focused on meeting their social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.
