North Star 265° will be the third school of our multi-academy trust and is expected to be opened in 2024. We will support young children who have been excluded from school, are at risk of exclusion or who exhibit behaviour associated with social, emotional and mental health needs. The school will put an emphasis on the curriculum, transition and early intervention in order to ensure that a reintegration into mainstream education will be possible. We will work with the schools, parents and carers of our students to successfully reintegrate them back into mainstream with an improved attitude to education, greater positive parental involvement and raised attainment and engagement.

We believe that every child deserves the best education to enable them to make good progress and achieve their full potential. The curriculum is appropriate, relevant and workable and will allow us to achieve our vision laid out in the previous section. It is based on working practices developed over many years of working with students with SEMH needs, both with and without EHCPs. It is also based on Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) evidence. “The Teaching and Learning Toolkit” identifies effective and evidence-based methods to improve learning. This research has informed our practice.
