LIFE Education Trust is planning to open a new independent special school to support pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The Haefen, set in a beautiful open location, on farmland, with access to woodland and a private beach area, aims to create a nurturing, structured and inclusive learning environment where every young person feels safe, supported and able to achieve their full potential. Subject to DfE and Ofsted approval, we hope that this incredible school will be ready to welcome pupils later in the Summer or Autumn Term.

Our school will provide a highly supportive setting with small class sizes, a strong pastoral approach and a dedicated team committed to improving outcomes for children who may have experienced barriers to learning in mainstream education.

We aim to inspire and nurture every child so that they can live, believe, and achieve their true potential.
