Heads Welcome

Welcome to Bishopton Centre, where we are proud to work collaboratively to ensure every student makes progress, enjoys learning and develops skills for life.

We provide a safe, nurturing learning environment for students to support them to maximise their potential. Each student has a unique pathway, which may involve a well-planned transition back to mainstream, or a differentiated route. We offer a broad and balance curriculum, which has a strong emphasis on English and mathematics and vocational subjects, to enable students to progress to Further Education, apprenticeships or employment.

To be successful we will work closely with the students that come to us and their families/ carers. We will identify what success will look like for the young person and plan a pathway of academic, therapeutic, and social activities.

Students will be taught in a small group of usually 10 or less with a teacher and teaching assistant. Relationships with their teachers will be strong. There is a great deal of emphasis placed on pastoral support and good behaviour will be rewarded. Each student will also have the opportunity to take part in our Outdoor education programme.

We work closely with our colleagues in other services to form a strong team of support around young people and families. This may include Educational Psychologists, Social care, youth support, SEND colleagues to name a few.

We hope that you find the website useful but if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us, 01642 566369.
