Summary
Arbour Academy provides a broad, balanced and engaging curriculum delivered in a small nurturing environment, for young people unable to access a mainstream school setting due to anxiety and mental health needs.
Arbour aims to re-engage each young person with their education, develop social skills and learn coping strategies to support their mental health and wellbeing. Through tailored therapeutic support, skilled staff and a small nurturing environment we aim to ensure learners feel safe, secure and supported and as a result are able to access the education they deserve.
We recognise that education is not a ‘one size fits all’ model and carefully tailor our provision to meet every individual’s needs.
