Welcome to Storyybrook!
Having opened in February 2024, Storyybrook is our state-of-the-art Alternative Provision for primary-aged children. It has been designed with bespoke education in mind, whilst also offering mentoring and respite for SEN and SEMH needs children between the ages of 4 and 11 years old.
Why join Storyybrook?
Step Outside
We understand that classroom environments don’t always work for everyone; that’s why we’ve ensured that Storyybrook has ample secure outside space for children to take a breath of fresh air. This Alternative Provision hosts over 3 acres of land for outdoor activities, ensuring children spend plenty of time in green areas and connect with nature. Storyybrook also has an outside gymnasium, allowing students to explore physical activity whilst having fun and playing around.
Bespoke Education Spaces
We want to make sure everyone’s needs are catered for, so Storyybrook has been designed to meet the requirements of every child who is on-site with us. This Alternative Provision includes a cosy sensory room to help develop processing abilities and self-regulation, cooking facilities for the children to learn basic culinary skills, an art room for students to explore creativity, a topic room to discuss weekly themes and subjects, such as life skills for independence, celebrations & festivals and saving the plant, alongside many other inspiring and creative spaces.
