Welcome
Cressey College is a small, independent special school providing education for students identified as having social, emotional and behavioural difficulties and other complex needs.
We currently have three small sites and work with the students in ways which best meet each individual's needs.
The school delivers a structured programme of education that follows the National Curriculum differentiated as appropriate and individually tailored taking into account the students' Statement of Special Educational Needs.

Head Teacher
Students may be taught in small cohorts, in pairs or individually. There is a strong focus on improving literacy, numeracy and ICT skills and developing the students' personal and social skills.
One of the school's strengths is a high ratio of teaching staff and teaching assistants, providing support to the students and ensuring their needs are met effectively.
Students' individual talents and interests are supported and when applicable additional tutoring is provided as part of their individual curriculum.
The school ethos is one of nurture and positive management of behaviour supported by a rewards system that helps to promote positive outcomes and behaviour.
