Part of the Keys Education family
I am delighted to welcome you to Robin's Nest, a small specialist provision dedicated to educating pupils with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. We understand that these students often require a more tailored intervention than what mainstream schools can provide.
At Robin's Nest, we are deeply committed to every pupil, offering specialized support that addresses each individual's unique needs. Our goal is to empower all our students to reach their full potential. Many children arrive with negative perceptions of the education system, often shaped by past experiences of rejection.

We welcome referrals and enquiries from parents and local authorities. To discuss how Keys Education can support your child, please contact us using the form below or reach out to our admissions team directly.
Parents, carers, or local authorities can contact us to discuss the needs of the child.
We ask the person wishing to commission the placement (normally the Local Authority) sends over relevant information, such as, EHCP, previous school reports, professionals reports.
This allows us to conduct a thorough assessment to determine if we are the right provision to meet needs.
Once we feel needs can be met, we work closely with all parties to facilitate the placement process. If the Local Authority request the place, this is subject to funding being agreed at a panel meeting.
After admission, we provide continuous support to ensure the child settles in well and their needs are met.
