St. Paul’s Secondary School is a small independent school located in the heart of Balsall Heath, and only a short drive / walk from Kings Heath and Moseley, Click here for our Find Us Page.
Our provision is targeted to meet the special educational needs of young people, aged 11 – 16 years, who experience social, emotional and mental health difficulties.
In previous settings our pupils have exhibited challenging behaviours, which are frequently associated with a wide range of complex conditions, including ASD, ADHD, Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties and challenging behaviour.
Many of them have experienced multiple changes of school and periods out of full-time education.
We provide a small nurturing environment, for up to 35 pupils, with firm boundaries, where we support pupils to develop strategies to manage their responses appropriately. We believe that all young people have the right to enjoy their education in a safe and nurturing setting. We listen to young people’s ideas and help them build their own path through supportive learning contexts. St Paul’s School encourages individuals to grow in confidence, gain valuable qualifications and develop essential life skills.
We have developed positive relationships with the local authority to ensure we are working closely with SENAR to be able to provide support to families and young people who are in need of a supportive and inclusive setting.
