Our provision

Our three pathways provide different learning environments so that each pupil can access the right level of support.

Central

Central · Old Trafford

Central provides structured small-group education, specialist SEMH support and access to academic and vocational learning. Pupils benefit from clear routines, subject teaching, pastoral support and preparation for qualifications and post-16 transition.

Address: 67 Ayres Road, Old Trafford, Manchester, M16 9NH.

Thrive

Thrive · Chadderton / Oldham

Thrive is designed for pupils who benefit from a calmer environment, reduced transitions and a more consistent staff team. Learning remains ambitious while the delivery model can be adapted around communication, anxiety, sensory and regulation needs.

DfE-registered school address: Unit 2, Aniseed Park, Oldham Broadway Business Park, Oldham, Greater Manchester, OL9 9XA.

Outreach

Outreach · Bespoke education

Outreach is for pupils who require a highly individualised education package away from larger peer groups. Programmes can combine core learning, therapeutic and pastoral support, community-based activity and carefully quality-assured external provision, with reintegration considered whenever appropriate.

Registered additional site: 29 Greek Street, Stockport, SK3 8AX. Outreach teaching may also take place at individually assessed community or external venues.

Placement decisions are individual. Admission follows consultation with the commissioning local authority and review of the pupil’s needs, risks, provision requirements and whether SMS can meet those needs safely and effectively.
