 Our small independent schools educate boys and girls aged 11-17.The schools with their experienced head teachers and staff teach many pupils with a range of complex needs, who have struggled in previous educational placements. 

Joined-up approach

Our Head of Education is involved from referral onwards, making sure all educational needs are pulled together and put in place, regardless of the education setting. Our schools and homes work closely to achieve positive outcomes for all the young people we care for. This joined-up approach and positive behaviour management help us re-engage even the most hard to reach young people. We have high expectations throughout our teams, not only of their attendance and grades, but also their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

Positive incentives

Our Positive Behaviour Incentive programme offers clear routines and boundaries, creating a school environment where pupils feel safe and secure.

They are able to develop the skills, confidence and self-esteem needed to realise their full potential. As soon as they enter our schools, we assess their academic ability and then review their progress. We also use the assessment data to design each individual support plan and any interventions our pupils may require.

A varied education

At Key Stage 3, we offer a broad, balanced, relevant education in keeping with the National Curriculum. The range of subjects is varied to make sure everyone gets an education tailored to their exact needs. At Key Stage 4, pupils can then choose to study a range of externally accredited courses, including Entry Level, Functional Skills, ASDAN and GCSE. Our Schools may also liaise with alternative providers to create a truly personal, needs-led curriculum.

Support networks

Each Hexagon School looks to build good relationships with parents, authorities and the young person’s support network to help them be the best they can be, whether academically or socially.
