WE ARE LIONHEART
Lionheart School is designed with one purpose in mind: to provide a Safe, supportive and Nurturing provision for every student who walks through our doors.
At Lionheart, we believe that every child has the potential to thrive - no matter their past challenges or experiences.
As a trauma-informed school, we recognise that many of our students have faced difficult and sometimes overwhelming experiences. We approach education with deep empathy, understanding, and a commitment to creating a safe space where students can thrive and learn at their own pace.
We focus not only on academic achievement but also on the emotional well-being of each student, because we know that true learning happens when children feel safe, supported, and valued.
We believe that learning happens best when students feel seen, heard, and understood. We are proud to offer a trauma-sensitive approach that helps students build resilience, cope with challenges, and develop the skills they need to succeed academically and socially.
Our pathways and activities are designed to foster confidence, self-regulation, and emotional intelligence- helping students build a strong foundation for their future. Our young people deserve the best, we endeavour to deliver and give them the best facilities and education possible
