Moral Purpose:
At Serenity Education we are dedicated to meeting the academic, therapeutic, and vocational needs of our students. Our mission is to create, adapt, and implement functional curricula necessary to meet the diverse individual needs of our student population and increase current and future independence.

Aim:
To holistically promote Inclusion, Independence, and Self-worth in all areas of school life.

Vision:
We are intrinsically humanistic in all of our approaches. Serenity School by virtue of its name has been established as an independent schools’ group with the sole purpose to nurture, care and eliminate barriers that harm and prevent natural childhood development that are commonly associated with vulnerable children and their families. These barriers can potentially ruin life chances of young people who are not accessing education or do not feel included in school and their communities. Through a multi-disciplinary approach, we effectively address the root causes of underachievement, lack of self-worth, and an unmanageable lifestyle using our Socio-Education Model.

We offer a unique, life changing education experience by delivering a curriculum that is differentiated to the demands of each student’s educational needs, delivering academic outcomes whilst also supporting them successfully through Personal, Social, Health Education that can be significant limiting factor in their lives. We do this successfully by offering a three-tier curriculum to meet a wide range of ASD and related needs.

1. Responding to need for each and every individual pupil

It also helps them to understand how they see themselves, their families, and the wider world.

Maximising individual achievement is central to the purpose of Serenity School. Inclusion is the common thread woven into this narrative. It shows in the exceptional efforts made to help children and young people in our schools rise above their difficulties through highly skilled teaching, therapy, a
