SEN school in Stoke-on-Trent

We know that for a child with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, finding the right school is about more than just education. It’s about rebuilding confidence after past rejections and finding a specialist community,often supported by an EHCP, where they can finally thrive.

Here at Snow Hill, our team provides expert, tailored support within a small and structured environment. With high staffing ratios and a bespoke timetable of Educational, Enrichment, and Adventurous Activities, we help your child feel understood, re-ignite their passion for learning, and achieve their full potential.

Start and Finish Times

Our lessons start at 9am and finish at 2:30pm.
Lunch Time

All students and staff have access to order a meal from a local sandwich shop as we do not have provision to provide school lunches.

School pay for all student meals. Students are supervised during this period.
Reporting Absence

Contact should be made on the first day of non-attendance, giving the reason and indicating when you expect your child to return to school.

Monitoring Progress

Each student has a Student Passport, setting out clear aims and objectives for learning.

Student achievement and progress is monitored on a weekly basis and a report is produced at the end of each term. The report will be issued to the parent / carer.
Monitoring Attendance

Your child's attendance will be monitored in exactly the same way as a mainstream school.

We hold formal attendance records in the form of an attendance register.

Any concerns regarding attendance will be dealt with under current procedures and will involve close liaison between parents / carers, school staff, Education Welfare Teams, and Children's Safeguarding Teams.
Uniform
There is no set uniform.

However, we do insist that students wear appropriate clothing for the activities they are undertaking. For example:

Sensible footwear (no sliders, heels or crocs).

No low-cut tops, crop tops or vests.

Shorts and skirts to reach knee length.

Logos or slogans on clothing are appropriate to be worn at school.

Please carefully consider the value of clothing worn, especially on adventurous activities as the school takes no responsibility for loss of, or damage to personal items.
