Equality Objectives:

- To heighten awareness of the importance of equality of opportunity for all staff and students.

- To examine, monitor, review and, where appropriate, modify the Academy’s practice and provision in order to promote equality of opportunity.

- To encourage a positive attitude and commitment to the principles and practice of equal opportunities.

- To encourage all students in the development of their sense of personal worth and self-esteem.

Ashwood is a place that offers an alternative way of learning to suit students’ individual needs.

Our students will feel confident in themselves and learn both in and out of the classroom.

We put wellbeing first and students will be proud of who they are.

Our school mantra is aiming to achieve. We believe in respecting ourselves and others, working together and encourage all to do their best.

All children and young people have the capacity to learn regardless of their life situation. It is our role to unlock that learning potential. We apply our methodology to open the door to learning and to re-engage students into learning to prepare them with confidence and sustainability in the their next most appropriate destination.

Catch22 is a social business, a not for profit business with a social mission. For over 200 years we have designed and delivered services that build resilience and aspiration in people and communities. As a social business we have the heart of a charity, and the mindset of a business.

Catch22 provides young people aged 4-18 with alternative education in order for them to progress and succeed in sustained education or employment.
