Summary

Saffron Valley Collegiate is a mixed pupil referral unit located in Croydon, catering to 84 students who have been excluded or are at risk of exclusion from mainstream education. The school is dedicated to providing a personalised educational experience, focusing on the unique needs of each student. The core values of being ready, respectful, and safe guide the ethos of the institution, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages students to re-engage with their education.

The school comprises four provisions, including SVC East, which specifically supports secondary students facing medical needs or anxiety-related challenges that prevent them from attending traditional schools. SVC East offers a tailored curriculum, including GCSE and Functional Skills, in small class sizes of approximately 10 students. Full-time attendance is encouraged, with additional online options available for those unable to access the building.

Saffron Valley Collegiate works closely with families and external agencies to ensure that each student's educational journey is supported, aiming to help them rediscover their enthusiasm for learning and unlock their potential.
