“For many students who come here they may have felt rejection and misunderstanding in previous placements.

“So, it is mine and my team’s aim to never give up on anyone who comes to us at Brambles School.”

The school prides itself on providing personalised specialist education in a nurturing and safe environment that understands their needs and supports them to fulfil their potential. All pupils can access accredited courses suitable for their individual needs and sit GCSEs.

Additional courses are also provided including vocational based training in motor mechanics, construction, sports studies, horticulture and land based management.
