Provision overview
The Ladder School is an alternative provision school for young people that need a second chance. We offer a broadly academic curriculum, with all students in Years 9 to 11 studying GCSE English, English Literature, Maths and Science as well as two BTECs. In the Sixth Form we offer a one year course for those with EHCPs that includes re-take English and Maths alongside a BTEC and extensive personalised support. Every student is taught by a qualified specialist and supported by a Learning Coach; that, along with small class sizes, lead to strong outcomes and a warm, family-like environment.
