Headteacher’s Welcome
Welcome to the Short Stay School for Norfolk
The Short Stay School has a number of key functions. Primarily we provide education and support for young people who have been permanently excluded from school. The needs and profile of these young people vary tremendously but for all our pupils our role is to prepare each individual for the next step on their educational journey and to support them in making this a successful transition.
The SSSfN is also an educational base for Children who are Missing Education. We provide educational packages for children in Norfolk who are without a permanent school place until such time as their school place can be finalised.
Finally, by working in partnership with the NHS and Childhood First our specialist bases provide a high quality, tailored education for identified pupils requiring longer term provision at the SSSfN.
As I hope you can tell our provision is very wide ranging so I encourage you to spend some time reviewing the different sections of our website to get a full understanding of the different parts of the Short Stay School for Norfolk.
Kind regards,
Rachel Thornberry – Principal of Specialist Provision
Katrina Warren – Director of Specialist Provision
