Many of our students are academically able but have faced significant barriers to education due to complex mental health needs, including anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and disordered eating. \n We offer a nurturing and highly individualized education without compromising on academic ambition. With small classes, skilled teaching, and carefully tailored support, we enable students to re-engage with learning and work towards a broad range of meaningful qualifications and future pathways. Our academic study is complemented by vocational opportunities and a strong focus on emotional wellbeing, independence, and personal development. \n Reddish Hall is not a traditional SEMH provision; it is a calm, aspirational learning community where students are understood as individuals and supported to feel safe, rebuild confidence, and recognize their own potential. Through specialist support and close partnerships with families and other professionals, we help every student prepare for a positive and fulfilling life beyond school. \n At Outcomes First Schools, we provide specialist education for learners who need a deeper level of understanding, expertise, and support than mainstream education can typically offer. We support students with a wide range of complex, co-occurring, and neurodivergent needs, including autism, ADHD, SEMH, speech and communication needs, dyslexia, and experiences of trauma or adversity. \n We are proud to be part of OFG Education, which was officially certified as a ‘Great Place to Work’ for the sixth year running in 2025.
