School Information
At Becton School we are fully committed to enabling achievement for all our pupils. We firmly believe that all young people have a right to be safe, healthy and achieve their academic potential. In supporting pupils towards these goals, we will enable them to contribute meaningfully to society and live fulfilling, enjoyable lives.
Ethos
- To enable children and young people to continue their education whilst attending the Becton Centre and to aid recovery by involving them in purposeful activities at a level of engagement and challenge appropriate to their changing individual needs.
- To provide a safe, welcoming, accepting and nurturing environment where learning takes place and where education is interpreted in the context of multidisciplinary work.
- To provide an appropriate, broad and balanced high-quality curriculum mirroring, where possible, mainstream education and linked as far as practically possible to the young person’s previous learning experiences.
- To contribute to the physical and psychological recovery of the children and young people by working closely with parents/carers and the wider multidisciplinary team
- To support the young people in their re-integration with education by facilitating their transition back into mainstream provision or other further education/ employment where appropriate.
