About The Helix Education Centre

Welcome to The Helix Education Centre! Thank you for your interest in working for us., we are committed to a shared moral purpose; to make a positive difference to the lives of the young people in our community. 

I am proud and honoured to be the The Head Teacher of a provision where all stakeholders work effectively and enthusiastically together to ensure continuing success.

The Helix Education Centre  is a provision which enables young people to change the direction of their lives.

The Helix Education Centre is Harrow Local Authority’s Education Other Than at School (EOTAS) service. We are a Service consisting of a Primary & Secondary Pupil Referral Unit, Hospital Education, Home Tuition and an outreach Inclusion Support Team; providing education for pupils from  5-16 years covering the four Key Stages. The Helix Education Centre supports pupils from all Harrow Schools.

Our service provides a transitional education and support for up to 160 learners per year when they are unable to attend mainstream school. Pupils enter the service when  they have been permanently excluded, as a respite placement, ill health (mental or physical) or occasionally by other circumstances.

We believe that all children have the potential to become successful adults. Strong and healthy relationships with the pupils and with each other mean that staff really know the pupils and their needs and can ensure success is achieved by providing exactly the right support. Learning has always been and continues to be placed at the heart of the centre and all that we do and is key to the success of all our pupils.
