Our school offer
Our aim is to provide pupils with a range of opportunities so that they can reach their full potential.
Redefining education
We redefine education by seamlessly integrating three essential pillars: education, therapy and futures. We don't just educate; we nurture support and propel our pupils towards a future where their potential knows no bounds. Join us on a transformative journey, where education extends beyond textbooks, therapy and nurtures resilience, and futures are shaped with purpose and promise.
Our outstanding offer
We provide unique learning opportunities for our pupils to help them engage with learning so that they can develop skills and grow in confidence to become proud members of our school community.
We have officially partnered with the Johan Cruyff Foundation, which was set up by one of the world’s greatest sporting icons. The aim of the organisation is to support and develop sports activities for children and young people all over the world.
Our state of the art Cruyff Court, is an all-weather pitch which supports small group sports, including football, basketball, volleyball and netball, and an additional grassed field area. The aim of the space is where pupils can grow, make friends and improve their mental health.
Each day at our school begins with a dedicated reading session following breakfast. Pupils engage in activities tailored to their reading levels, whether it’s independent reading, class reading, or targeted phonics interventions. The teaching and support teams also actively participate, reading alongside pupils, creating a school-wide culture that values and promotes reading. Classroom posters also display what the team are reading outside of school, encouraging pupils to cultivate a love for reading that goes beyond the classroom.
Reading is also integrated into the curriculum, serving as a key skill that enables children and young people to engage with learning more effectively. This approach builds their confidence as they navigate subjects, helping them to better understand and participate in their education.
In the afternoon, after lunch, children and young people take part in their selected enrichment activity, which focuses on a variety of subjects, including cooking, computing, art and eco-school projects. During the sessions that last for seven weeks, they learn new skills and acquire knowledge that culminates in them earning an award in the subject. In the final week, a "carousel" event is organised, allowing them to explore and choose the activities they would like to pursue in the following half term.
Wednesday mornings start with a themed assembly, covering a range of topics, varying from awareness campaigns to local initiatives. After the assembly, pupils spend their first lesson of the day discussing the assembly theme, for example, following the Air Ambulance Week assembly, everyone brainstormed fundraising ideas. This session fosters social, moral, spiritual, and cultural (SMSC) development, helping children and young people to engage with local and broader community issues. Each class also maintains a scrapbook to document their ideas and creations during these sessions.
Each day concludes with a 15-minute reflection session. This time offers pupils with the chance to reflect on what they’ve done well, what they’re proud of, and areas for improvement. It also serves as a moment to prepare them for the next day, such as informing them about themed days or events, visitors and outings, helping them feel more settled.
Education
We foster an excitement and a love of learning in our pupils by following the national curriculum. Our curriculum and tasks set are challenging yet achievable, enabling children and young people to grow in confidence and prepare for life beyond the classroom. We also provide enrichment activities through educational visits and field trips to support and enhance learning experiences.
With a backdrop of our small class sizes, with no more than nine pupils per class, each child and young person receives a bespoke curriculum tailored to their needs, which is fully integrated with our social development programme.
Our commitment to a well-rounded education includes a focus on social development. Through activities that promote collaboration, friendship, social interaction, and teamwork, pupils build essential interpersonal skills. These experiences help them develop communication, empathy, and the ability to work well with others. By developing friendships and a sense of community, children and young people learn to value diverse perspectives and support one another, creating a positive and inclusive learning environment that strengthens their social growth.
The results speak for themselves as young people leave us with nationally recognised outcomes at a level that is right for them, ranging from entry-level certificates to functional skills, BTECs and GCSEs. This equips them to confidently take their next steps into further education, apprenticeships or employment.
Therapy
Our on-site Clinical Team provide pupils with unrivalled levels of therapeutic support, in terms of the level of expertise, the ratio of qualified therapists and clinicians to children and young people, and the range of therapies offered. Pupils have the support of our Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and other specialists as required.
We believe that unless a child or young person is able to feel emotionally safe and secure, they are less likely to fulfil their personal, social and educational potential. Our unique approach to supporting young people through our Wave Model enables them to go on to realise a future filled with aspiration and achievement.
Bescot Hall School's Clinical Team complete thorough and skilled assessments that support a shared understanding of the complex needs we see in our children and young people. This enables us to put purposeful and appropriate interventions in place and assess our effectiveness through the tracking of outcomes and impact.
Futures
At Bescot Hall School we are dedicated to raising the aspirations of our pupils, while also equipping them with the skills and confidence to realise outstanding outcomes.
The Futures programme inspires and connects pupils with their next steps beyond education, utilising a growing network of over 350 employer partnerships, including the likes of Microsoft, Mercedes and John Lewis, to provide outstanding experiences of the workplace and ongoing opportunities and support.
Our Futures sessions provide practical guidance on job applications, confidence-building, networking, and workplace expectations, giving children and young people the tools to navigate their career paths with clarity. Complementing this, our Futures curriculum enriches academic growth while developing personal development and career readiness, ensuring they are prepared for their chosen paths. With no upper age limit on support, the programme boasts a 100% success rate in transitioning students into education, employment, or training.
