Why Choose Keys Schools?
Specialist Therapeutic Education: Our highly trained educational specialists work with young people who have challenging or complex needs, including emotional or behavioural difficulties and mental health challenges.
Tailored Learning: We cater to pupils who may have struggled in mainstream schools and offer a supportive environment for those at risk of being a child missing education (CME), vulnerable due to learning or mental health challenges, or at risk of being criminalised or permanently excluded.
National Curriculum: Our schools follow the National Curriculum, covering core subjects such as Literacy, Numeracy, Science, and ICT, along with vocational subjects, humanities, citizenship, PSHE, and physical education.
Diverse School Locations: We have a range of schools varying in size and location, including some that are co-located with our residential homes, allowing us to provide specific learning opportunities tailored to each pupil's needs.
I can’t thank Keys enough for the care and support they’ve provided for my daughter. The staff are always attentive, and they genuinely listen to her needs. She has made amazing progress in both her education and personal growth, and I see a brighter future for her every day. Keys has truly changed our lives for the better.
Keys Inclusion Pathways offer trauma-informed and technology-enabled learning opportunities for children and young people who cannot access traditional or specialist schools.
Keys Inclusion Pathways take education beyond the classroom, providing personalised, future-focused pathways that place each learner’s needs at the centre. We assume nothing and are ambitious for every learner. With a focus on clear planned transitions, Keys Inclusion Pathways enable measurable progress through skilled support.
