We can welcome Learners with a variety of needs including SEMH, Cognition and Learning and Interaction and Communication needs.

The learner who steps through the doors at Pushforward Summer House School will begin a journey with us that results in achievement of a significant selection of meaningful qualifications and confidently prepares them for the next steps in their lives.

We will retain our approach and commitment to individualised learning. Conversational education is key to unpick progression barriers, as we focus heavily on developing well rounding young people, finding their spark, accepting people at their own starting point, and acknowledging success through personal and academic growth.

We want them to walk through their front door at the end of each day proud of who they, what they have done and with a great big smile on their face.

A subtly challenging, low demand approach to Education. The provision takes place for 30 hours a week over five days (6 hours a day) including morning and afternoon sessions along with the team preparing and cooking of their own lunch. All teaching will be done as a mix of classroom delivery and off-site educational visits with no expectation to be sitting still in a classroom all day.

We will offer high levels of support even in group sessions with a minimum of 4 staff to 6 young people. The staff are tasked with a specific role from subject teaching, pastoral support and learner engagement. This allows us to carefully manage progress of each learner, giving them the best possible opportunity to achieve against their own Individual Learning Plan.
