Tailoring education

Our aim is to provide pupils with a range of opportunities so that they can reach their full potential. Our curriculum prioritises personal development and well-being. We don't just educate; we nurture, support and propel our pupils towards a future where their potential knows no bounds. Join us on a transformative journey where education goes beyond textbooks and bright futures are built with purpose and hope.

Education

With a backdrop of our small class sizes, each child and young person receives a bespoke curriculum tailored to their needs, which is fully integrated with our social development programme. We recognise that the individualised opportunities to engage in learning can only be captured when each pupil feels ready to learn, therefore staff take the opportunities to build relationships and embed key learning throughout the day across all areas of the site. Our commitment to a well-rounded education includes a focus on social development. Through activities that promote collaboration, friendship, social interaction, and teamwork, pupils build essential interpersonal skills. These experiences help them develop communication, empathy, and the ability to work well with others. By developing friendships and a sense of community, children and young people learn to value diverse perspectives and support one another, creating a positive and inclusive learning environment that strengthens their social growth. The results speak for themselves as young people leave us with nationally recognised outcomes at a level that is right for them, ranging from entry-level certificates to functional skills, BTECs and GCSEs. This equips them to confidently take their next steps into further education, apprenticeships or employment.

Our bespoke offer

We deliver a 24-hour curriculum, which is structured around developing pupils by building confidence, self-esteem, and trust within a supportive living and learning environment. This specialised curriculum gives pupils access to a range of academic, vocational, therapeutic and leisure activities, and so enabling them to become more confident and successful learners.

LEGO® Education feeds through the curriculum providing pupils with an engaging, hands on experience that encourages communication, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. Pupils are able to construct a device, namely a robot, and experience the practices completed by industry professionals particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

The construction process has proven to become an intrinsic motivator and enables pupils to contemplate on their designs, ultimately leading to innovative work being completed.

The high aspirations of our staff and their ability to genuinely connect with each pupil ensures that every learner feels supported, cared for and accepted. This approach enables pupils to progress socially and emotionally and go on to achieve a range of awards and qualifications. All this results in pupils looking forward to the next chapter of their lives with increased knowledge, experience and skills.

Therapy

Our on-site Clinical Team provide pupils with unrivalled levels of therapeutic support, in terms of the level of expertise, the ratio of qualified therapists and clinicians to children and young people, and the range of therapies offered. Pupils have the support of our Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and other specialists as required.

We believe that unless a child or young person is able to feel emotionally safe and secure, they are less likely to fulfil their personal, social and educational potential. Our unique approach to supporting young people through our Wave Model enables them to go on to realise a future filled with aspiration and achievement.

Oakwood Learning Centre's Clinical Team complete thorough and skilled assessments that support a shared understanding of the complex needs we see in our children and young people. This enables us to put purposeful and appropriate interventions in place and assess our effectiveness through the tracking of outcomes and impact.

Futures

At Oakwood Learning Centre we are dedicated to raising the aspirations of our pupils, while also equipping them with the skills and confidence to realise outstanding outcomes. The Futures programme inspires and connects pupils with their next steps beyond education, utilising a growing network of over 350 employer partnerships, including the likes of Microsoft, Mercedes and John Lewis, to provide outstanding experiences of the workplace and ongoing opportunities and support. Our Futures sessions provide practical guidance on job applications, confidence-building, networking, and workplace expectations, giving children and young people the tools to navigate their career paths with clarity. Complementing this, our Futures curriculum enriches academic growth while developing personal development and career readiness, ensuring they are prepared for their chosen paths. With no upper age limit on support, the programme boasts a 100% success rate in transitioning students into education, employment, or training.
