Our two SEMH special educational needs schools provide alternative education for learners aged 11 to 16, combining academic progression with social and emotional development.
Both Novaturient School and Ness Point School are registered to deliver alternative education to students aged 11 to 16, enabling PCT Education to support a wider range of learners across Norfolk and Suffolk.
All our students currently have Educational Health Care Plans to support their social and emotional needs as well as academic progression. Each student is going through their own unique life path and is at a different stage socially, emotionally and academically.
We believe this needs an individual approach to the curriculum, allowing us to meet students’ needs while continuing to stretch their ability and aspirations.
Small classes and tailored learning help us meet the learner at their starting point while creating room for confidence, regulation and academic growth.
Individual first, curriculum with purposePCT places strong emphasis on emotional intelligence and the ability to participate confidently and safely in society.
Addressing negative behaviour helps keep people safe and gives students better tools to manage life changes.
Closing social and emotional gaps supports motivation, aspirations and a stronger learning mindset.
Students build the emotional intelligence and practical skills needed to participate in society and move forward with confidence.
Both settings are small, specialist and focused on individual pathways, creative teaching and positive relationships.
Novaturient has been open for eight years and is currently graded Good. The school has built a positive reputation for meeting the needs of SEN children across Norfolk and Suffolk through small classes, tailored learning, and creative out of the box lessons that bridge gaps in education and social and emotional regulation.
