The Learning Journey 

Our Vision

Hamilton School provides an ambitious, varied and unique programme of learning. Our curriculum is designed to provide our young people with real, engaging, and positive experiences; supporting personal development and underpinned by an environment that is focused on community. As a specialist SEMH school, we understand how important each individual is to their own Learning Journey and that is why we place them directly at the centre.

Our Blended Learning Model allows us to deliver a broad and balanced subject offering, a variety of optional and vocational pathways, therapeutic interventions and experiences, targeted literacy and numeracy interventions, and social communication skills, all of which are intended to create a pathway to provide achievable outcomes at all levels and key life-skills to equip our young people for success.

The ability to provide learning both on-site and off-site allows us to be inclusive and accessible to all.
