The centre allows pupils to refocus on their learning and offers specialist support to allow individual development according to each pupil's needs. There is an established leadership team and teaching staff in place and all staff benefit from the shared learning and training  to enable you to become an excellent SEMH practitioner.

The school is easily accessible by bus and tube.
