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 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.
