Carnegie Centre
Carnegie is a small unit who cater for 16 learners at KS4. Learners that attend Carnegie have a variety of needs that most main stream school cannot accommodate. There are 5 teaching staff and 2 teaching assistants.
The team of teaching and non-teaching staff offer a wide range of expertise and support to learners, and we are all fully aware of how difficult most of you find it to even enter the building let alone attend on a full time basis.
We work on the principal of small steps, making you feel comfortable, and then making sure you reach your full potential.
It is important to realise that all learners who attend this unit feel the same way as you, and go through the same emotions getting here. We work as a family, supporting each other, and giving space in equal measures without making it an issue.
At Carnegie we are proud of the success our students make during their time here not only academically but socially and emotionally too. In the last academic year 100% of learners left with a recognised qualification.
