Overview
The Hive Centre is the third site of Hill Park School. It is a provision for secondary-aged autistic students who have high anxiety, which prevents them accessing onsite provisions such as mainstream secondary schools or facilities co-located at mainstream secondary schools.
Many will have been home educated or accessed tutoring packages and need bespoke transition to a full-time onsite model. Students at The Hive will be able to access an age related curriculum and achieve GCSEs and other Secondary accreditations.
Paid weeks per year: 52 (inclusive of holiday entitlement)
Start date: As soon as possible
Location
The Hive, a part of Hill Park School, Brighton
