About Us

Supporting young people to achieve their potential

Our young people are at the heart of all we do at Tor View School. Our caring and dedicated staff get to know each student and develop the relationships that make young people feel secure, valued and ready to learn. Our individually tailored learning and person-centred support transforms young lives: students re-engage with learning and make the academic progress for positive transitions to further learning and employment. They build the resilience, emotional and social skills they need for lifelong learning and growth. Every child is encouraged to be aspirational about their future and supported to reach their true potential.

We pride ourselves on the positive relationships we build with our students and their families, and the welcoming, caring and supportive environment young people learn in.

Students at Tor View School are supported by a motivated and experienced staff team providing the highest standards of teaching and care. We share a passionate commitment to supporting young people to overcome their barriers and achieve everything they are capable of achieving.
