Redefining education
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 extends beyond textbooks, therapy nurtures resilience, and futures are shaped with purpose and promise.
Love of learning
At Bescot Hall School, our bespoke curriculum allows us to deliver learning that is accessible, engaging, and packed with adventure and discovery through educational visits and field trips to support and enhance learning experiences.
Our commitment to a well-rounded education includes a focus on social development. Through enrichment activities that promote collaboration, friendship, social interaction, and teamwork, pupils build interpersonal skills, empowering them to navigate relationships, contribute meaningfully to their communities, and succeed in diverse environments. We take pride in focusing on friendships and a strong sense of community. By doing so, children and young people learn to appreciate diverse perspectives and support one another, contributing to a positive and inclusive learning environment.
Young people leave us with nationally recognised outcomes at a level that is right for them, ranging from entry-level certificates to functional skills awards, BTECs and GCSEs. This equips them to confidently take their next steps into further education, apprenticeships or employment.
Our outstanding offer
We have officially partnered with the Johan Cruyff Foundation, which was set up by one of the world’s greatest sporting icons. The aim of the organisation is to support and develop sports activities for children and young people all over the world.
Our state of the art Cruyff Court, is an all-weather pitch which supports small group sports, including football, basketball, volleyball and netball, and an additional grassed field area. The aim of the space is where pupils can grow, make friends and improve their mental health.
Each day at our school begins with a dedicated reading session following breakfast. Pupils engage in activities tailored to their reading levels, whether it’s independent reading, class reading, or targeted phonics interventions. The teaching and support teams also actively participate, reading alongside pupils, creating a school-wide culture that values and promotes reading. Classroom posters also display what the team are reading outside of school, encouraging pupils to cultivate a love for reading that goes beyond the classroom.
Reading is also integrated into the curriculum, serving as a key skill that enables children and young people to engage with learning more effectively. This approach builds their confidence as they navigate subjects, helping them to better understand and participate in their education.
In the afternoon, after lunch, children and young people take part in their selected enrichment activity, which focuses on a variety of subjects, including cooking, computing, art and eco-school projects. During the sessions that last for seven weeks, they learn new skills and acquire knowledge that culminates in them earning an award in the subject. In the final week, a "carousel" event is organised, allowing them to explore and choose the activities they would like to pursue in the following half term.
Wednesday mornings start with a themed assembly, covering a range of topics, varying from awareness campaigns to local initiatives. After the assembly, pupils spend their first lesson of the day discussing the assembly theme, for example, following the Air Ambulance Week assembly, everyone brainstormed fundraising ideas. This session fosters social, moral, spiritual, and cultural (SMSC) development, helping children and young people to engage with local and broader community issues. Each class also maintains a scrapbook to document their ideas and creations during these sessions.
Each day concludes with a 15-minute reflection session. This time offers pupils with the chance to reflect on what they’ve done well, what they’re proud of, and areas for improvement. It also serves as a moment to prepare them for the next day, such as informing them about themed days or events, visitors and outings, helping them feel more settled.
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.
Bescot Hall School'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 Bescot Hall School 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.
