Millside School has over 70 pupils in Key Stage 3 and 4, all of whom have Education, Health and Care Plans for Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs (SEMH). Our shared aim is to help our pupils to make positive behaviour choices and become independent learners with positive futures.

The ICT curriculum at Haybrook College is designed to empower pupils from Year 7 to Year 11 with the skills to equip them for success in a technology-driven world. Our intent is to provide a comprehensive programme that delivers ICT through Digital Functional Skills. The curriculum is divided into three strands: Digital Literacy, Computer Science, and Information Technology. This has been designed to remain updated in line with changes to the national curriculum, ensuring that pupils receive relevant and up-to-date content reflecting the current technological landscape.

The aim is for learners to leave Haybrook College as responsible digital citizens, capable of leveraging technology effectively in their personal and professional lives. Their solid foundation in Digital Functional Skills will prepare them for success in various vocational settings, and equip them with the practical skills that employers value, ensuring that they are workplace ready.

• nurturing tutor groups, of up to 7 pupils in KS3 that support the transition from Primary to Secondary, aiming to develop independence and resilience at each student’s own pace;

• our weekly ‘Thought for the week’ themes which focus on the values we wish to promote and share: for example Courage, Kindness, Truth, Inclusion and the traits that make for a caring community and a healthy body and mind;
• daily mentoring and learning support from our Sports Coach Mentors, as well as personalised interventions from our Intervention Mentors for those pupils who require greater support with attendance and engagement in learning;
• and finally, a ‘family atmosphere’ whereby we celebrate success through our reward assemblies and activities, we eat together daily and we share responsibility for the care of our therapeutic Millside pets.
