There are a lot of local requirements in Ealing and the surrounding areas across West London for behaviour mentors, youth workers and teaching assistants to re-engage young people back into learning.

The school provides real opportunities for pupils helping them find their passion and using their strengths to promote confidence and independence in learning.

Students learn based on the national curriculum with some learning through alternative, vocational subjects to enable students to reach their full potential.
