Welcome to Abbey View School and thank you for showing an interest in our school. It is important to understand that time spent at Abbey View School is an investment in a student’s future. The school provides specialist environment for students who are struggling in a mainstream setting to be supported to overcome their barriers to learning and succeed in their education. The vast majority of students successfully return to their mainstream school or transition to a post 16 education provider.

Abbey View provides students, who are at risk of failure and marginalisation within mainstream schooling, with opportunities to re-engage and find purpose in their education and lives. Our aim is that short and long-term Abbey View students succeed educationally and progress to fulfil their considerable potential, becoming citizens of which society can be proud.

Working closely with partner schools and with parents, Abbey View provides its students with a chance to reflect and reform, within a happy, safe and supportive environment, which promotes sound emotional well-being and safe lifestyles.

1. - Provide an aspirational, secure and nurturing environment built on mutual respect
2. - Develop students’ academic, social and emotional skills
   
3. - To offer the maximum opportunities post 16 by providing meaningful qualifications including GCSEs.

5. - Develop a highly skilled and effective staff team, who provide the best opportunities for all students
6. - Understand that all behaviour is a form of communication and to support students to regulate their own behaviour and make positive choices
