Who We Are

North Star 265° opens in September 2024. We support young children who have been excluded from school, are at risk of exclusion or who exhibit behaviour associated with social, emotional and mental health needs. The school puts an emphasis on the curriculum, transition and early intervention in order to ensure that a reintegration into mainstream education is possible. We work with the schools, parents and carers of our students to successfully reintegrate them back into mainstream with an improved attitude to education, greater positive parental involvement and raised attainment and engagement.
