What Sets Us Apart
As a registered independent education provision, we offer an alternative but comprehensive curriculum designed to provide consistency, continuity, structure, and clear boundaries for our pupils. The curriculum is constructed from four main strands tailored to meet the needs of our pupils: Core Academic (including English and Maths), Personal Development (including PSHE and citizenship), Vocational (including food tech, woodwork, horticulture) and Enrichment (including activity clubs and forest school). Our approach ensures that every student receives a broad and balanced education, tailored to accommodate a wide range of abilities for those aged 11 to 16.
The school is well equipped and set within purpose-built buildings. The main site enjoys a specialist food technology room, pastoral room, animal care room, spacious sports hall and outdoor MUGA, as well as a large number of classrooms. The school benefits from an Enterprise Centre situated within a half mile walk where pupils are offered a range of vocational activities including woodwork, bike maintenance, construction, horticulture, IT and art. In addition, the school leases five allotments from the Local Authority where organic vegetables (Soil Association certified) are grown. It also uses a local Forestry Commission site to delivery Forest Schools activities.

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.
