We are an alternative provision school based in Barking and Dagenham, east London. We provide full-time education and support from Years 7 to 11 (reception to Year 11 via our Access to Education Service - formerly the Home Tuition Service) for 11- to 16-year-olds who have had difficulties with their learning and behaviour in mainstream school. Some students are with us for a few months, others throughout their secondary schooling. At Mayesbrook Park School, we aim to give all our students the necessary skills to move forward successfully into the next phase of their lives be that reintegration into mainstream school, further education or employment. Through our balanced curriculum, personalised support and enrichment activities, we encourage students to engage with their studies. Through our team of skilled teachers and learning support staff, we help reduce their barriers to learning. And through our high expectations, we challenge our students to succeed. Skills Builder allows us to focus our students on a specific skillset and actually apply their essential skills.
We plan for next year to increase the engagement even more and have each subject completing aspects like the workbook where we have seen real progress in PE, and in art where they have been creating physical projects with the techniques learnt.
