The School

HEADSTART is situated in the East Sussex countryside on the outskirts of the village of Ninfield.
The school is based in 18 acres of farm land with views across to the sea.

Our aim is to enable all students to develop the ability to make choices, which impact positively on their overall life chances within the wider community.
We offer a broad range of vocational lessons alongside the more conventional areas of academic study.
Our qualified teaching staff are dedicated to providing a safe, caring and positive educational experience. The school has a firm commitment to the professional development of staff and in-service training forms a part of each term.
Praise and reward are used as key motivators for all students. Our reward scheme offers points for attendance to lessons, good behaviour and task completion. These can be used for a chosen activity, for example, go-karting, horse riding, or other suitable activity of a student’s choice. Additionally, students have the opportunity to earn money to spend with staff on our end of term shopping trips.
Parents, guardians/carers are regularly informed of a student’s educational progress. Information on weekly tutorials is available by request, and we actively welcome the involvement of families/carers, as we view education as a partnership between home and school.
