Our Vision
To provide an Alternative Curriculum which will improve the educational experiences and life chances of all learners in Rochdale.
Our Aims:
1. To provide all identified learners with an appropriate curriculum and learning environment to meet their specific needs.
2. To significantly reduce the number of (and need for) permanent exclusions in Rochdale.
3. To provide support which allows all schools in Rochdale to improve attendance and outcomes.
Re -engage
Our aim is to re-engage learners who have been permanently excluded from mainstream education, to foster a renewed love of learning, and to support each learner in reaching their full potential.
Aspire
We aspire to provide a high quality education setting where leaners feel safe, and nurtured. Through high-quality teaching and personalised support, creating a positive learning experience that meets the needs of every learner. We promote leaners to aspire to look towards the future and follow their individual pathways.
Inclusion
Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to ensuring every learner feels valued, respected, and supported—regardless of their background, ability, or individual needs. We embrace diversity and actively work to remove barriers to learning, ensuring that all learners have equal access to opportunities to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We foster a sense of belonging and empower every learner to reach their full potential.
Furthermore we are supporting local schools with outreach to promote and support inclusion across the borough.
Support
We are committed to providing high levels of support not only to our learners but also to their families. We understand that the journey through education can be complex, especially for those who have faced challenges in mainstream settings. That’s why we place a strong emphasis on building trusting relationships and maintaining open, consistent communication with parents and carers.
Our approach is rooted in understanding and meeting individual needs. We work closely with families to develop personalised support plans that take into account each learners academic, emotional, and social development.
Education
We believe that every pupil deserves an education that is tailored to their individual needs, interests, and aspirations. Our bespoke approach to learning ensures that each young person receives a personalised curriculum designed to engage, challenge, and support them at every stage of their journey.
We recognise that no two learners are the same. That’s why we take the time to understand each pupil’s strengths, barriers to learning, and long-term goals. From adapted classroom activities to targeted interventions and enrichment opportunities, our staff work collaboratively to create meaningful learning experiences that inspire progress and build confidence.
Our flexible and responsive approach allows us to adapt quickly to changing needs, ensuring that all pupils are given the tools they need to succeed—academically, socially, and emotionally. We hope, reignite ambition, and prepare every learner for a positive future.
