S.E.M.H.

Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs are a type of special educational need in which a child expresses themselves through behaviour as a response to unmet social, emotional, or mental health needs.

Our success is based on the flexible and

supportive approach taken by our teaching

staff, who meet the highest standards and

provide an education tailored to each

student's needs, equipping them with the

necessary knowledge and skills to navigate

life’s increasingly difficult challenges.

Strong social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) is essential for a happy, fulfilled, and independent life.
