About our School
Educ8 Southport is an independent special school for learners in Years 9–11 who benefit from a personalised approach to education. We support young people with a range of additional needs, including autism, ADHD and social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.
Our trauma-informed approach combines academic learning, vocational opportunities and therapeutic support, helping learners rebuild confidence, develop resilience and prepare for their next steps in education and life.
Our Curriculum
Our broad and ambitious curriculum combines academic, vocational and personal development opportunities, tailored to each learner's needs and aspirations.
Learners can work towards AQA GCSEs in English, Mathematics and Combined Science, Pearson Functional Skills qualifications, and City & Guilds qualifications in Construction and Hair & Beauty.
Literacy, numeracy and essential life skills are embedded throughout the curriculum, supporting progression into further education, employment or training.
