Both Novaturient School and Ness Point School are SEMH special educational needs schools registered to deliver alternative education to students aged 11 to 16.
Both our schools are SEMH special educational needs schools. Novaturient School and Ness Point School are both registered to deliver alternative education to students aged 11 to 16. This means that as an education provider we can offer support for a wider range of students across Norfolk and Suffolk.
All our students currently have Educational Health Care Plans to support both their social and emotional needs as well as their academic progression. Each student is going through their own unique life path, demonstrating different stages within that educational journey, socially, emotionally and academically.
Here at PCT Education we feel this needs an individual approach to the curriculum, allowing us to meet all students' needs alongside stretching their ability.
Addressing negative behaviour fundamentally keeps people safe, but it is also essential to develop a seamless way to address gaps in social and emotional development, so students are better equipped to manage life changes.
We believe that until these gaps are addressed, students will not be equipped with key life skills such as keeping themselves safe, developing motivation and aspirations, and encouraging a learning mindset. Therefore, we believe social and emotional learning should have as much emphasis in the curriculum as other subjects, if not more.
Novaturient School has built a positive reputation for meeting the needs of SEN children across Norfolk and Suffolk. We provide small classes with tailored learning that meets the individual at their starting point, using creative, out of the box lessons to bridge gaps in education and social and emotional regulation.
