Southway- KS3/4 Extended Educational Provision

Southway is an independent school, and part of The Rodillian Multi Academy Trust, which provides alternative provision and education for students at KS3 and KS4.

Students who struggle with conventional education or, due to particular challenging and often traumatic events in their lives, sometimes need a period of time in an alternate setting. Many of the students who join Southway have been excluded from mainstream school and perceive that they have failed. The staff at Southway are committed to building positive relationships and promoting resilience in all students so that they have the opportunity to re-engage with education, take ownership of their lives and the choices that they make and ultimately succeed. 

Southway is testament to the fact that even the most challenging and complex students can reach their full potential and achieve academic success. A significant majority of our KS3 students successfully re-engage with mainstream schools which is a credit to the way our staff work with students and their families. We have extremely high aspirations for our young people, and we strive to give them the education and life skills that they will need to move on to the next stage of their life.

Southway accepts students throughout the year based on the needs of the referring schools. The relationships at Southway between colleagues and between staff and students, is extremely unique. It is the strength of these relationships that make Southway the amazing provision that it is; everyone works together to raise aspirations and create positive futures. Southway allows students to reset, rebuild and succeed.
