The school
Southover Partnership Outreach is a specialist provision who supports, plans and delivers a highly personalised teaching and learning approach to support students in the home or other public settings and schools. Our students are often the hardest to reach, often being disengaged and require targeted nurture and specialised techniques to access education and reintegrate them back into a school setting. Whether through ill-health, behaviour, anxiety, social or mental health issues or have other special educational needs with other learning difficulties. Most of our students have Education and Health Care (EHC) plans. Our learners come from diverse settings; many have a history of disrupted or limited schooling.
Our role is the stepping stone they need to get them back on track.
