About

Healey Learning Centre is based at Unit 15 - 16 Hollows Works, Shawclough Road, Rochdale OL12 6LN. It functions as a independent special school, and alternative provision.

Healey Learning Centre is the first independent special school within Apex Specialist Education, providing a safe, nurturing and aspirational environment for young people with social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH). Situated in Rochdale, Healey serves pupils who require a more personalised, relationship-centred approach than mainstream education can offer.

From the moment it opened, Healey has been shaped by The Apex Way — Support, Inspire, Flourish, Succeed . Our staff place relationships at the heart of every interaction, using trauma-informed and restorative practice to ensure pupils feel understood, valued and emotionally secure.

This strong foundation enables learners to rebuild confidence, re-engage with education and make meaningful progress. Healey Learning Centre is proud to be recognised by Ofsted as Good overall, with Outstanding Personal Development , reflecting our commitment to high standards, holistic support and consistent, high-quality teaching and care.
