Welcome to
The Venn Boulevard Centre

We are an alternative provision with special school designation, committed to providing a holistic education that prepares our students for success in all aspects of life.

At Venn Boulevard Centre, we believe that education extends beyond academic achievement and encompasses social, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Our ethos is rooted in promoting resilience, confidence and perseverance in our pupils. Our pupils have a range of Social, Emotional and Mental Health Health Needs and Special Needs and include pupils with Adverse Childhood Experiences, Young Parents and pupils with an EHCP .We strive to create a supportive and inclusive learning community that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning.

Our approach to education is pupil-centred, and we place a strong emphasis on personalised learning. We recognise that every student has their own learning style and pace, and we work closely with each student to develop a learning programme that caters to their individual needs and goals.

Our highly qualified and experienced teachers are dedicated to providing an exceptional standard of education, and we are committed to continuous professional development to ensure that we stay at the forefront of educational best practices.

At Venn Boulevard Centre, we believe in the importance of strong partnerships between school, parents, and the wider community. We value open communication and collaboration to support our students’ success both inside and outside of the classroom.

Sail had a fantastic Number Day on Friday. We followed instructions to make shortbread, carefully measuring out the ingredients by reading the scales and discussing the units of measure. We also discussed direct proportion and how we would multiply each ingredient to make more biscuits. Students behaved sensibly in the cafe and enjoyed eating their biscuits during assembly whilst learning about Luke Littler - a great morning!
