The Harbour Project

VLC offers therapeutic and caring alternative education for young people who are unable to access mainstream education. VLC works with children with SEN and EHCPs and  those at risk of exclusion. Many of our students have been or are school refusers, and/or have attachment issues or trauma. 

As a school we offer a broad and balanced curriculum taught 1-1 or in small groups, covering the national curriculum where possible. Our holistic approach not only focuses on students academic learning, but also students social and emotional learning, preparing students for success at adulthood and supporting the wider family alongside other professionals. We also offer various forms of therapy and offsite activities to meet their needs. We are delighted to be an Outstanding school.
