KS3 & 4 Centre

Welcome to Heights Lane – Raise Ks3 and 4 Centre 

At The Ks3 and 4 Centre, our curriculum blends core academic learning with practical vocational pathways and personal development. We are committed to creating a warm, supportive environment where every learner feels valued and understood. Through positive relationships, high expectations, tailored support, we re-engage learners with education, rebuild confidence, and help them develop the skills they need for the future. Our aim is to ensure every young person is prepared for positive next steps in education, training, or employment.

Learner Feedback  

Our LSA makes us feel like we are valued and respected and we want to do well for her because she put lots of effort in. 

I can ask staff about anything that is bothering me and they know when I am struggling with things. I get to take time out with staff when I need to and this helps me as I feel better when I have talked about my feelings. 

The base - its calm, and i like the cosy corner.
