Welcome to ACE schools. At ACE we are proud to provide education to young people aged from 4-16 who are not currently accessing mainstream or special school provision.

Our school supports young people from all over the region with provisions in Cornwall, Plymouth and Exeter.  Our school prides itself on providing a trauma informed approach to all of our young people ensuring that everyone’s learning is tailored to them as individuals.

Our provisions are tailored to the specific needs of our young people with highly trained staff delivering group teaching, one to one support, and outreach into the community ensuring that we have an adaptability that makes us specialists in our field. 

ACE Dover Road offers a small, nurturing environment for young people with a medical or mental health need (such as high anxiety, ASC etc) who are unable to access mainstream education. We are a temporary provision that aims to support and enable the students to make a successful transition to mainstream or alternative placement schooling.

Subject specialist teachers deliver a broad curriculum to our young people. Our students are split into three classes and each have their own designated learning mentor who supports students both academically and emotionally.

We work closely with other professionals to support the mental health and wellbeing of our young, people and our pastoral team also provide additional intervention and support through a trauma informed approach.
