Summary

Canterbury Campus and Lavender Campus, part of Melbury College in Morden, serve as a Pupil Referral Unit for secondary-aged students facing challenges in mainstream education. The school caters to 54 pupils, including those who have been permanently excluded, are on respite from their home schools, or are new arrivals in the borough. The focus is on providing a personalised curriculum tailored to meet the individual needs and aspirations of each student, particularly those with social, emotional, and learning difficulties.

The educational approach at Melbury College emphasizes small group teaching and the development of Individual Learning Plans, which incorporate social development opportunities. Students are offered a broad range of GCSE subjects in Years 10 and 11, with the aim of reintegrating them into mainstream schools or facilitating their transition to Sixth Forms or colleges.

Support services are integral to the school’s ethos, with access to a Safer Schools Officer, Speech and Language therapist, Educational Psychologist, and CAMHS worker. This collaborative environment aims to transform the lives of young people by fostering a nurturing and supportive community.
