My Choice School

My Choice is committed to increasing access to education and support

Independent school for young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. Yr 7 to Yr11

My Choice School works together to create an ethos that is relevant to the needs and unique life experiences of our young people.

We aim to reflect the values of

  • Democracy
  • Rule of Law
  • Individual liberty
  • Mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs 
  • Respect for other cultures and their values
  • Responsibility
  • Tolerance
  • Belief in personal and social responsibility

We promote these values through our curriculum and through our school community, in assemblies and in the Student Council.

We have a creative and flexible approach to learning, providing an appropriate level of challenge while supporting emotional needs and encouraging responsibility for actions and behaviour.    

We aim to provide a safe environment in which each student can achieve personal progress both academically and socially, develop resilience to success and failure and believe in their own worth to enable them to move onto the next stage in their life.

Aims of My Choice School

• To develop the self esteem of all students and encourage sound choices in their behaviour.
• To develop a desire to achieve and learn new skills in all students.
• To engage students and parents / carers in our approach to education and build a successful partnership between home and school.
• To prepare students for adult life.
• To ensure that all Year 11 students achieve a place at post 16 provision or employment.
