Our students do not need to wear a uniform, although we do ask that they wear appropriate clothing. It is best that they wear comfortable clothing that is suitable for the weather.
Students are not permitted to wear coats inside the school buildings, it is also expected that all students will need to wear appropriate outdoor footwear.
It may be necessary for you to provide an extra set of clothes if your child is going to be participating in the Outdoor adventurous curriculum in case they get wet or muddy. It is also best for them to wear older clothes and shoes during these sessions.

Mark H, ParentI can’t thank Keys enough for the care and support they’ve provided for my daughter. The staff are always attentive, and they genuinely listen to her needs. She has made amazing progress in both her education and personal growth, and I see a brighter future for her every day. Keys has truly changed our lives for the better.
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.
