Summary
Our faculty is integral to the life of pupils within the school. We aim to develop their self-esteem, confidence and fulfil their potential as they enjoy their learning. We endeavour to ensure pupils are happy individuals equipped to face the demands of the outside world, able to make intelligent decisions. We aim to provide them with help, information and guidance so that when they leave Healing School they have skills and attributes that will benefit them throughout their life.
