We are very happy to welcome you to Hope Tree School. We believe that our students will make the most progress when they feel safe and are enjoying school. Students who attend Hope Tree School often arrive with significant barriers to learning and/or gaps in their educational journey. Through building positive and safe relationships, and adapting teaching styles and learning activities to suit each individual student, we strive to remove barriers to learning. We aim to facilitate the development of lifelong learning skills, alongside teaching key life skills, to support all students to achieve their potential and take their place in society with strong foundations, good self esteem and stable mental health.

Please get in touch if you would like to speak to one of the team.
