West Raynham School empowers pupils by managing their transition and adjustment to school expectations and routines through strong pastoral and therapeutic support in our calm, welcoming yet structured environment.

We offer a range of qualifications and skills that prepares pupils for their next steps. All pupils are fully supported to achieve the best results possible through quality teaching, interventions, and supported study.

In addition, we provide career guidance and support that essentially helps pupils to reflect on their interests and aspirations, explore career options/pathways and plan for the future.

Staff assist with a range of employability skills such as CV writing, conducting career and job searches, completion of college applications and impartial careers advice. We also focus on preparing pupils for college visits, open days, interviews, work experience and volunteering opportunities.

We emphasise pupils learning the skills needed for independence in life so that they are able to manage their finances, health, and relationships.
