Welcome to Our School

Dear Visitors,

I am delighted to welcome you to Eden School, a specialist provision for young people aged 8-16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH).

At Eden, we are committed to providing a life-transforming environment where every pupil feels valued, understood, and supported as they embark on their individual learning journeys. We are incredibly proud of the progress and achievements of our pupils, and we believe in their potential to succeed.

We understand the importance of fostering partnerships with families and services locally and nationally, to enhance the work we do in school. We are committed to building meaningful relationships and taking our place at the heart of the community.

Our ethos is built on the core SHINE values of Success, Health, Inspire, Nurture, and Empower. These values guide everything we do and ensure that every child is given the tools and support they need to thrive.

  • Success is at the heart of our educational approach. We celebrate every achievement, no matter how big or small, as a step towards each pupil’s personal and academic growth. You can view our full curriculum in the dedicated section of this website.
  • Health is integral to our school community. We understand the importance of mental and emotional well-being, and we work tirelessly to create a safe and supportive space for all our pupils to feel comfortable and confident in their learning environment.
  • Inspire is our call to action. We aim to spark curiosity, enthusiasm, and passion for learning in every pupil. By fostering a love of learning, we open doors to endless possibilities.
  • Nurture is about developing the whole child. We create a caring and compassionate atmosphere where pupils are encouraged to build positive relationships, trust themselves, and respect others.
  • Empower is what drives us. We believe in giving pupils the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take control of their future. By fostering independence, resilience and self-belief; we empower our pupils to lead fulfilling lives.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our school, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for visiting our website, and we look forward to sharing more about the wonderful work happening here.
