Our School

The Corner School is a Special Independent School for children with social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), who require high-quality specialist support. Our vision is to improve the life chances of all children at The Corner School by providing an appropriate and relevant education, improving their mental and physical health, and helping them build positive relationships with peers and adults so that they can contribute to their community and wider society.

We achieved a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating in both 2019 and 2022, and are committed to delivering inspirational teaching that develops confidence in learning and encourages our pupils to take ownership of their learning and be proud of their achievements.

Our dedicated team of Teachers, Teaching Assistants and Therapists work together to develop personalised, dynamic support for each learner enabling them to grow in their own unique way. We offer a safe and nurturing environment and the stability needed to develop their self-esteem, resilience and enable them to learn.
