At Camden Centre, for Learning, we are committed to providing the highest quality provision and learning experience for young people.
We are passionate about supporting each student to re-engage in learning and fulfill their potential. We provide personalized learning opportunities and a broad and flexible range of curriculum pathways to ensure all our students can achieve and be successful.
We have a team of professional experienced and dedicated staff who strive relentlessly to ensure we are providing the best possible opportunities for the young people who attend to gain the highest level of achievement and personal development.
We have an integrated multiagency team that provides coherent and responsive approaches to meet the holistic needs of our young people and their families.
We believe each student and family are individual and deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Camden Centre for Learning (CCfL) is Camden’s educational provision for secondary-aged students whose primary need is their social, emotional, or mental health development.
It is comprised of the three specialist services in Camden that currently provide support for secondary aged children and young people with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties:
- The SEMH Special School
- The KS3 Pupil Referral Unit
- The KS4 Pupil Referral Unit
We cater for up to 100 young people who require specialist SEMH provision, including students:
- Identified as requiring such provision through a statement/EHCP of SEN (SEMH),
- Who have been permanently excluded from mainstream school, or who are at significant risk of being permanently excluded, and
- Who requires a managed short-term intervention to prevent permanent exclusion.
Our Vision:
- Challenge Yourself – We believe every student and adult should challenge themselves to achieve their best and fulfill their potential.
- Celebrate Achievement – We personalize our learning programs to ensure all students can achieve and we take every opportunity to celebrate student achievements at all levels.
- Focus on Success – We focus on what a student can do, identifying individual targets to support students to succeed in the next step in their learning as well as to make the right choice in their behavior.
- Learn for Life – The education we provide is designed to improve a student’s life chances and should support a student’s learning not only whilst in school but support the students to continue to learn at all stages of their life.
Our Aims:
- To provide a more flexible continuum of provision to meet students’ needs from short-term re-engagement programs to long-term placements for students with the most complex needs.
- To provide personalized learning opportunities and a broader more flexible range of curriculum pathways to ensure all students can achieve.
- To provide coherent and integrated multi-agency provision for the young people and their families and to ensure effective and responsive approaches to meeting the holistic needs of young people and their families.
