WELCOME TO
NEW AVENUE
SCHOOL
A new independent special school for 20 pupils, aged 9-16, with SEMH needs.
WHO ARE WE?
New Avenue School is a small, specialist independent school supporting pupils with SEMH and associated needs.
​
We are an established provision for pupils aged 9–16 who require a personalised, relationship-led approach to education.
​
The school provides a calm, structured environment where pupils feel safe, understood, and able to re-engage with learning. We work closely with families, local authorities, and professionals to support progress that is steady, meaningful, and sustainable.

Our vision is for New Avenue School to be a place where pupils who have struggled elsewhere can stabilise, rebuild confidence, and move forward with purpose.
​
We aim to provide a small, consistent setting where relationships come first and learning follows. By keeping numbers low and staffing stable, pupils experience predictability, trust, and support that lasts.
​
We want pupils to leave us better equipped to manage learning, relationships, and everyday challenges, with a clearer sense of their strengths and next steps.
OUR VISION
Our ethos is built on consistency, respect, and understanding.
​
We know that many pupils come to us after difficult experiences of school. We take time to get to know them properly and respond in a way that is calm, fair, and predictable.
​
You’ll see clear routines, steady expectations, and adults who remain consistent when pupils are finding things hard. We focus on helping pupils understand their behaviour, build self-control, and feel safe enough to engage.
​
We believe progress happens through trust. When pupils feel secure and supported, they are more able to learn, take responsibility, and move forward.
