What We Offer
S.E.M.H. Provision
Supporting children with social, emotional and mental health needs to unlock their full potential and thrive in all aspects of their lives.
Understanding SEMH
What are SEMH needs?
SEMH needs are a type of special educational need where a child communicates through behaviour in response to unmet social, emotional or mental health needs.
Children with SEMH needs often have difficulties managing their emotions or behaviour. They can show inappropriate responses to their emotions — feeling scared, anxious and misunderstood.
It is estimated that around 150,000 children in mainstream and special schools are currently experiencing SEMH challenges.
