What we do
The learning journey
At Edith Kay Independent School we provide a clear transition during all stages of our community’s learning journey. Joining a new school community at any age provides new opportunities for our pupils. It can also be an anxious time for parents and young people alike so we work closely with families and key agencies to ensure every pupil’s transition is secure and stress-free.
key staff members
During transition, key staff members engage in well-informed discussions regarding each pupil’s learning experience so they can identify and respond to each young person’s needs and strengths. Pupils are normally then phased in during the first few weeks thereby enabling a smooth transition.
Our Curriculum
All our pupils have an Educational Health Care Plan, EHCP. We are fully aware of the impact that barriers and access to education can have on the achievement of some pupils. The curriculum, therefore, works to provide all pupils with the opportunity to engage with a broad range of academic and practical subjects in a purposeful programme
Who are Edith and Kay?
Edith and Kay were an ordinary couple who are representative of all those who devote their lives to taking care of vulnerable children, fostering them and welcoming them warmly into their family home. Over many years, Edith and Kay worked to promote resilience in vulnerable young people, and to instil the values of compassion and generosity of spirit. Their deep-seated belief in the power of education and care to transform lives underpins the ethos of our school.
