Quantum is a short term facility located on-site which supports students who have been temporarily removed from lessons due to behaviour choices. The purpose of Quantum is two fold. It provides a period of supervised personal reflection and working in a quiet environment followed by a period of adult led learning and restorative reflection on a 1:1 or small group basis. The aim of Quantum is to return students to lessons, ready to learn, as quickly as possible.

They will be supported by the Inclusion Manager and will liaise with teaching and pastoral staff to identify solutions to support students with their behaviour choices to be able to return to mainstream learning.

Creative in their approach to working with young people
