About New Leaf School

Welcome from  Mrs C Fairburn | Headteacher

Senior leaders, staff, governors and trustees are committed to having a positive impact to the life of students at New Leaf School. We passionately believe that every young person who attends New Leaf School should achieve excellent personal and academic progress. This is due to our nurturing and caring approach.

We provide a personalised learning experience to enable students to reintegrate into a mainstream school or to transition into an appropriate educational establishment. This equips them with the skills they need to succeed in their future.

Every day is a step forward, a chance to grow, an opportunity to build resilience and confidence needed to step forward into the future. We work with our young people to ensure that any barrier in their life we overcome together. This support is also extended to our young people's families who we work really hard with to support them as we know the benefits that this has on our students.

Our students come to us at a time where they need support, structure and understanding, whether they're preparing for their next move into mainstream or specialist provision, we will be with them every step along the way. We believe that New Leaf is a small chapter within our young people's lives, but it's one filled with memories, with growth, and moments that will stay with them forever.

We're not just preparing students for their next steps; we're preparing them for life. Progress isn't just measured in grades or attendance, it's about the quiet confidence of a student returning to a mainstream classroom and it is also about having trust and self belief.

At New Leaf, we welcome every young person with open hearts and open minds. Our promise is very simple to provide a safe, nurturing environment where all of our students are believed in, valued and given the opportunity to thrive.

Our Values at New Leaf School
  • READY
    Being ready means more than just having a pen or a planner, it also means being mentally prepared, emotionally supported and equipped to focus on the task at hand.
  • RESPECTFUL
    Respectful means recognising our own worth and the worth of others. Our students learn that respect is not just about their own behaviour, but also about the way that they treat each other and themselves when they're in a learning environment.
  • SAFE
    Safe. That's the foundation. Feeling safe, acting safe, and making sure that others feel the same. When a young person feels safe, we know that everything else becomes possible.
