Summary

With a current enrolment of 48 pupils and a capacity of 63, the academy focuses on supporting students who require alternative educational approaches, whether due to short-term needs or following permanent exclusion from mainstream schools.

The academy adopts a trauma-informed approach, prioritising individualised support and personal development.

The school collaborates closely with Lincolnshire Local Authority and local schools to create a comprehensive educational package that addresses both academic and personal growth.

The school is committed to providing a supportive environment where pupils can thrive and prepare for their next educational steps.
