This provision is part of a respected multi-site trust that specialises in inclusive and therapeutic education. The High Peak site supports students from Reception through to Year 11, many of whom have experienced significant barriers to education, including trauma or disrupted schooling.

With small class sizes, strong staff-to-pupil ratios, and a dedicated, compassionate team, the school provides a nurturing and consistent space where young people are given the chance to thrive-academically, socially, and emotionally.
