Summary

Horizon School, located in Lowestoft, Suffolk, is a Pupil Referral Unit dedicated to supporting students who face challenges in mainstream education, including those at risk of permanent exclusion. With a capacity for 32 pupils, the school focuses on providing short-term placements that identify barriers to learning and deliver tailored interventions. This approach aims to address the Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs of students, facilitating their reintegration into mainstream schools or appropriate long-term specialist provisions.

The school is committed to creating an inclusive learning environment where every child feels safe, valued, and respected. Horizon's mission emphasizes high expectations and a sense of belonging, fostering a community where students can thrive. The school collaborates with local organisations, such as Suffolk Family Carers, to enhance support for students, particularly those with additional responsibilities at home.

Horizon School's core values—Aspire, Freedom, Love, and Community—reflect its ethos of nurturing each child's potential and promoting a supportive educational experience. The dedicated staff work diligently to ensure that the needs of every student are met, reinforcing a culture of care and respect within the school community.
