 Blackwell Education, named after the late Elizabeth Blackwell who amongst a great other things was a pioneer and champion of social justice and equality, is a specialist educational setting that aims to offer alternative education for anyone who requires it no matter what their background or complex needs.


We base our understanding of challenging behaviour and disadvantage on the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) model and work with students in a nurturing way to alleviate the effects of past trauma and negative experiences allowing access to learning. We also understand that all behaviour is a form of communication and look to treat each student as an individual who deserves our time, patience and care.

What we do

Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND)

Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND)

Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND)

We provide educational support for  students  with wide ranging SEND’s. Our  curriculum offers a broad range of subjects which are delivered at an ability-appropriate level for the individual.   We  also  ensure  that  the  teaching  staff  and  management  team  assess  the  intent,  implimentation and impact  of their delivery to ensure effective individualised teaching is taking place.


Full reports of baseline testing, both academic and soft data, are provided to parents/carers/agencies, along with progress reports of each session and half term.

Looked After Children (LAC)

Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND)

Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND)

We  offer  educational   and  engagement   packages for Looked After Children  (LAC) either  as  additional  support  in/to  a  school  setting  or  offering  a  bridging  service  for  those  students  not  accessing  education  due  to  changes  in  accommodation  or  other  circumstances.

Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH)

Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND)

Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH)

We understand  that  all  students  have  their  own  individual hopes  and  asperations  as  well  as stresses  and  anxieties.  We  promote  a  safe,  caring  and  consistent  environment  that  fosters  a  productive  and honest  ethos .  Mental  wellbeing  needs  are  discussed  and  interventions  implimented  when  neccessary.  We also  utilise  specialist  therapists  who  carry  out  emotional  wellbeing  and  resiliency  assessments  which  help  track  student  progress  in  this  area.

Why we do it

YOUNG INDIVIDUALS THRIVING

We  understand that  society  as  a  whole  benefits  if  every one  has  equitable opportunities and support.  At Blackwell Education we are passionate about redressing any imbalance in support for students who need it most. Our approach is very nurture based to ensure positive behaviours develop and  are  developed  in  an  educational  setting  and  throughout all aspects of the young person's life.  It  is  through  this  process  that  young  people  establish,  maintain  and  develop  support  networks  and  coping  strategies  that  may help  them  through  into  adulthood.


We also want to flip the narrative on students with additional needs from that of negativity and stigma to one of a celebration of diversity and value to society. We believe that by working together with families, support groups and outside agencies we can make a difference to the lives of young people in a positive and lasting way.
