About Horizon Education
Our specialist independent schools offer unrivalled opportunities, securing sound educational outcomes with personalised, inclusive, and stimulating programmes of learning.
We specialise in providing education for children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN), and provide tailored support to help young people overcome challenges to help them learn.
To meet the needs of our children and young people with complex SEN, our schools specialise in communication and interaction, cognition, learning, physical and/or sensory difficulties and social, emotional, and mental health difficulties.
Our qualified, experienced and integrated Therapeutic Services team provide outstanding levels of support across Horizon to enable every young person to achieve social, emotional and academic success.
Our unique SHINE (Supporting Healing In Nurturing Environments) Therapeutic Model allows our Therapeutic Services team to practice using a psychologically informed, and trauma responsive approach to education. SHINE brings together up-to date research and approaches which have been found to be essential when supporting young people who have experienced trauma and adversity.
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, an evidence-based attachment-focused approach for working with young people incorporating Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy (PACE), underpins our SHINE model.

Purposeful Learning
Our schools provide a broad and balance curriculum, whilst utilising a personalised approach to meet the individual needs of each young person.
We make learning relevant to our young people, ensuring that they develop and progress in the core subjects, alongside the wider curriculum.
Our approach to implementing the curriculum helps to support our young people to become positive and responsible individuals who can work and cooperate with others in any situation they may find themselves in beyond their life at school.
Specialist Staff
We are specialists.
In Horizon’s schools, we provide support and education for young people with a range of social, emotional and mental health needs, alongside other associated conditions.
All staff are highly trained, tailoring their approach to match each young person’s needs.

Our schools follow our quality framework. Young people learn in a safe environment that is able to support their individual needs.
We plan each young person’s education carefully and cohesively, shaping their provision around their EHCP and agreed developmental goals.
As a result, young people develop their knowledge and expand on their skills both now and for the future.
