Welcome to our school!
Head Teacher’s Welcome
Welcome to NeneGate School. We are a Special School offering education for students aged 9 -16 years old with Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties (SEMH).
We pride ourselves on a holistic and flexible approach to education, under pinned by consistent principles, with respect for oneself, others and the environment at the heart of our philosophy.
Our aim is to place the needs of our students first and to provide a happy, nurturing, engaging, secure and inspiring environment, which allows individual students to aim high and follow a broad and balanced curriculum appropriate to their needs. We have expertise in delivering a wide range of individual learning programmes which, as well as including National Curriculum subjects, also include plenty of opportunities for outdoor and practical learning, as well as personal, social and emotional development.
We value the relationships we have built within this community and our aim is to ensure that students, parents and staff all feel valued, respected and trusted. We place a high premium on equality of opportunity in order to maximise our students’ potential.
We want our students to be happy, well-informed, responsible young people who are ready to progress onto the next stage of their education and make a positive contribution to the wider community. We are always happy to see parents of existing and potential students and welcome visitors to our school.
If you would like to come and see us then please get in touch to arrange a visit.
Catherine Wilson

RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) in schools
You will have probably read or heard about the presence of RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) in a small number of schools across the country. I am pleased to confirm that NeneGate is not affected by this and will open as planned this week. Our site and estates teams at Meridian Trust have been investigating this issue for several months along with the Department for Education and local authorities. We have completed the required surveys and undertaken site inspections with contractors. This work has confirmed that no RAAC has been found in our buildings, and that there will be no disruption to the start of term. We look forward to welcoming your child back to school this week. Yours sincerely, Catherine Wilson Head Teacher |
