Safety
Addressing negative behaviour helps keep people safe and gives students better tools to manage life changes.
About PCT Education
Individual support, ambitious learning, positive futures.
Registered alternative education for learners aged 11 to 16, combining academic progression with social and emotional development.
Our approach
Every learner is on a different educational journey.
Both Novaturient School and Ness Point School are registered to deliver alternative education to students aged 11 to 16, enabling PCT Education to support a wider range of learners across Norfolk and Suffolk.
All students currently have Educational Health Care Plans supporting social and emotional needs as well as academic progression. Each learner is at a different stage socially, emotionally and academically, so the curriculum needs an individual approach while continuing to stretch ability and aspirations.
Small classes and tailored learning help meet each learner at their starting point while creating room for confidence, regulation and academic growth.
Why the wider picture matters
Life skills are not separate from learning, they make learning possible.
Motivation
Closing social and emotional gaps supports motivation, aspirations and a stronger learning mindset.
Life skills
Students build emotional intelligence and practical skills to participate in society and move forward with confidence.
Our settings
Two schools, one shared approach.
Both settings are small, specialist and focused on individual pathways, creative teaching and positive relationships.
