The school
Ashley College is a specialist medical needs pupil referral unit; providing interim education for KS1-KS4 children who are resident in Brent but unable to attend their mainstream school due to their health needs.
Working with parents/carers, mainstream schools, support agencies and professionals we strive ensure a continuity of care and education. Our home tutors plan, in conjunction with mainstream school, and deliver a highly personalised timetable to support students in the home, or other public setting.
Our children come from diverse settings; will have a specific medical need; may have a history of disrupted or limited schooling and some may have Education and Health Care (EHC) plan.
Our role is to provide education support and act as the stepping stone they need to get them back into their mainstream school or in some cases another provision.
