I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the staff and governors of Salmons Brook School to welcome you to our school website. At Salmons Brook, our core purpose is to improve lives by nurturing potential.
The school opened as part of the Edact Trust in September 2022 and we are a special school, which caters for young people aged 11-18 with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. At Salmons Brook, we deliver an innovative, ambitious and highly specialised curriculum, which includes exposure to enrichment activities that develop personal growth.
Our curriculum is broad, balanced, relevant to needs and is designed to have integrated therapeutic support as necessary and a focus on developing resilience and preparing young people for the next stage in their lives.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
