School Description

Pupils agree that this is a good school and are not afraid to tell visitors why they think so. Most pupils are very happy here. This is particularly the case with those who have settled after being out of education for a long time. Pupils see the school as a safe place. They readily admit that relationships can be strained sometimes but feel that bullying is not an issue. Pupils appreciate the support they get from staff. Inspectors witnessed strong, respectful interactions throughout the inspection. Pupils say that staff understand them and give them time when they need it. Classroom visits showed this to be true, although staff are also skilled and unwavering when persuading pupils what is in everyone’s best interests. One unique aspect of the school is its outreach programme. This is multi-faceted and caters for pupils with complex social and emotional needs. These are often linked to mental health or other circumstances that impact negatively on their engagement with education. Leaders are relentless in their advocacy of pupils who attend the programme. Parents are positive about the impact it has on their children. Pupils themselves provide powerful testament to the difference it has made to their lives.

Alchemy School Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective.
