3. You would support pupils
11–16 years of age who have been excluded or are at the risk of being excluded from mainstream due to social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) challenges
4. Some pupils also have other special needs, such as ASC and ADHD

8. The school consists of a close-knit team who support each other, and they have strong leadership and are driven by giving their pupils the opportunity to thrive and turn their lives around
