Summary

The Linden Centre is a pupil referral unit located in Telford, serving a mixed-gender cohort of 35 students, with a capacity of 36. The Centre is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for children who are at risk of exclusion, have been permanently excluded, or require additional support to re-engage with their education. The Centre operates across four sites, offering tailored programmes that focus on building resilience, emotional regulation, and academic success.

The curriculum at The Linden Centre is designed to be relational and trauma-informed, ensuring that each child receives personalised support. The Primary and Secondary Short Stay Assessment and Intervention Centres provide part-time and full-time placements, while the Specialist Hubs cater specifically to children with Education Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) addressing social, emotional, and mental health needs.
