School Inclusion Unit

This is an area of the school dedicated to the excellent practice of restoring students’ self-confidence and resolving their distress or anger. The policy of the Unit is to reintegrate students at the earliest opportunity so that they feel included in their original lessons. The Unit is also the base for a small number of students who follow a work related learning programme during Key Stage 4
