School Description

Pupils’ life chances are renewed at Apple Orchard. Inspirational and highly dedicated leaders focus on pupils restarting their education and gaining the qualifications they need. Leaders know the challenges involved as pupils are supported through an education and therapeutic approach to gain a fresh start in life. Clinical therapists work in tandem with school leaders to create a bespoke curriculum that prepares each pupil well. There are high expectations of every young person. Pupils know they are expected to commit to the help on offer and work as hard as they can in their academic studies. Staff teach pupils how to behave through better understanding themselves and building self-control. The school’s five behaviour rules are clear and precise. Pupils learn to manage any conflicting thoughts and increasingly act with kindness and respect when around people. The behaviour rewards system really motivates pupils. Furthermore, an anti-bullying and inclusive culture is continually promoted around school. This teaches pupils to interact positively with one another and feel safe. The personal development programme mapped out for pupils is remarkable. Leaders think outside the box to shape pupils to be responsible and active citizens and harness a character that will help pupils reintegrate back into society.
