Pupils in Years 7, 8, or 9 can be referred to TRS at any point during the academic year. As part of the admissions process, pupils have the opportunity to meet key staff and begin building positive relationships. Once a start date is confirmed, each pupil is placed in a small class—significantly smaller than in their referring school—and begins studying the core subjects of the national curriculum: English, Mathematics, and Science. This approach helps pupils stay on track academically and builds the confidence needed for a successful return to their home or another mainstream school.
In addition to core subjects, a range of foundation subjects is offered to enrich learning, support wellbeing, and spark interest in areas pupils may wish to explore further at Key Stage 4. These include Art, Health & Fitness, PSHE, Citizenship, Classics, RE, ICT, and Personal Finance.
We place great value on building strong relationships with families, which helps pupils settle quickly and reduces anxiety.
