Other notes

We provide a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every pupil receives individualised support, enabling them to thrive both academically and personally. 

All our pupils have an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) and come to us after finding that mainstream education could not fully meet their needs. At Bushbury School, our primary aim is to re-engage young people in their learning journey, fostering their confidence and equipping them with the skills needed to achieve the best possible life chances. 

We offer comprehensive resources and meaningful opportunities for development across academic, social, and emotional domains. Our dedicated and highly trained staff team is committed to preparing every pupil for a successful future, providing consistent guidance and encouragement every step of the way. 

At the heart of Bushbury School’s ethos is a trauma-informed approach, embedded into all aspects of school life. This is complemented by our integrated therapeutic provision, which ensures that the emotional and mental well-being of every pupil is prioritised. Our staff work closely with a range of specialists, including: 

Psychotherapists 
Speech and Language Therapists 
Occupational Therapists 
Educational Psychologists 
Safer Schools Officers 
Social Workers 
A wider network of external professionals

These experts are fully integrated into the daily life of the school, offering holistic support tailored to the individual needs of each young person. 

Our curriculum is designed to meet the diverse needs of our pupils while aligning with the National Curriculum. It is individualised to suit each young person’s strengths, interests, and developmental stage.

In addition to academic pathways, we prioritise vocational skills and life skills development, ensuring our pupils are equipped for future success, whether transitioning to further education, training, or employment. 

At Bushbury School, we are proud to foster an environment where pupils feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed. By addressing each young person’s academic, emotional, and therapeutic needs holistically, we ensure they leave our school with the confidence and skills needed to embrace their next steps in life.
