Consilium Evolve is an Alternative Provision Academy which caters for secondary age students who experience emotionally based school avoidance. As such, we focus on the wellbeing of our students which then allows them to achieve.

A Culture of Excellence.

Our school builds a cultures of respect, responsibility, courage, and kindness, where students and adults are committed to the quality of their craft and are brave in new challenges.

All members of our community ensure that each student is known and cared  for, student leadership is nurtured, and contributions to the school and world are celebrated. Students and staff are supported to do better work and be better people than they thought possible.

Classroom Lens

Our classrooms are alive with discovery, inquiry, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration. Teachers talk less. Students talk (and think) more. Lessons have an explicit purpose, guided by learning targets for which students take ownership and responsibility, to bring out the best in them.

Our approach to curriculum makes standards come alive for students by connecting learning to real-world issues and needs. Academically rigorous, project-based learning expeditions, case studies, projects, fieldwork, and service learning inspire students to think and work as professionals, contributing high-quality work to authentic audiences beyond the classroom.

Show up and Be Seen,

At a very basic level we are built for love and belonging, human connection and learning. It is our job as practitioners to ensure our ‘Lens’ is truly focused on how our practices meet the needs our community. By bringing our best self (showing up), as practitioners , we will work rigorously to understand the mechanisms necessary to allow our students to thrive. Our students will learn to ‘Be Seen’, developing personal confidence, and the ability to take autonomy over their future steps.

Our Leadership

Leadership in our school goes beyond a single person or team; it’s a role and expectation for all.

Leaders build a cohesive school vision focused on student achievement and continuous improvement. They align all school activities with that vision. Leaders use data wisely, boldly shaping school structures to best meet student needs, celebrate joy in learning, and build a school-wide culture of trust and collaboration.

At Consilium Evolve we are ambitious for all our students and staff, and we look forward to welcoming you to our school.
