From the Cherry Tree Academy
We think it's crucial to expose our kids to a variety of experiences so they can make decisions later in life. We are working hard to engage and inspire our students through curriculum development, giving them the chance to explore their interests and inquire about the world around them. Every child is an individual, and we are committed to assisting them in realising their full potential. Our Pastoral Team supports children's social, emotional, and mental health needs by offering intervention groups, one-on-one counselling, and family support while working with our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo).
