Many of our students have struggled to thrive in a mainstream setting.

Teaching at St Thomas’s is extremely rewarding. Each small class has additional adult support and modern technology. The Centre is a lively community, with a Forest School and Allotment on the Lower
School site. As an example of outstanding alternative provision, new colleagues will receive support from an extremely friendly and experienced team.
