Our approach
Every learner is on a different educational journey.
Both Novaturient School and Ness Point School are registered to deliver alternative education to students aged 11 to 16, enabling PCT Education to support a wider range of learners across Norfolk and Suffolk.
All students currently have Educational Health Care Plans supporting social and emotional needs as well as academic progression. Each learner is at a different stage socially, emotionally and academically, so the curriculum is built around individual starting points.
Small classes and tailored learning create room for confidence, regulation and academic growth.
