King's Reach Education
A place where every student is supported and inspired to thrive.
At King’s Reach Education, we provide a tailored curriculum for male students, designed around each young person’s individual needs. Through trauma-informed care and supportive relationships, we help learners re-engage with learning, build confidence, and move toward a brighter, more independent future.
School Head's Message
After joining King’s Reach in 2019, I have thoroughly enjoyed my journey with the charity. I was part of the team that registered the school in 2022, became Deputy Head once it opened, and in 2023 I was honoured to step into the role of Head of School.
As Head of School, I am proud to lead a dedicated community committed to nurturing the potential of every young person who joins us. At King’s Reach, we know that success looks different for each student, and we are passionate about helping every learner discover their strengths, overcome challenges, and grow in confidence.
Our school is built on strong Christian values. We encourage mutual respect, resilience, and a belief that learning can truly change lives. We provide a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where students are supported to aim high, think for themselves, and develop the skills they need for a successful future, both in school and beyond.
We work closely with families, carers, and professionals to ensure that each student receives the personalised support they need to flourish. Whether a student is with us for a short time or a longer journey, they are part of a community that genuinely cares about their wellbeing and progress.

Examination Results and Outcomes
2024–25 Academic Year
In the 2024–25 academic year, four pupils completed their time at the school and moved on to their next destinations.
Due to the small cohort size and the varying points of entry into the school, including cases where prior academic attainment data was unavailable, it is not possible to calculate standardised national progress measures for this group.
Accredited Outcomes
Pupils followed individualised programmes of study, appropriate to their age, needs and planned next steps.
Outcomes included:
Across the cohort achievements included:
Functional Skills - Level 1 Mathematics and Functional Skills Level 1 English – Pass grades
GCSE’s - Mathematics, English, Chemistry, Biology and Physics ranging from Grade 4 - 9
Additional Qualifications and Curriculum Access
Alongside GCSE and Functional Skills study, pupils accessed a range of recognised and accredited pathways, including:
-
AQA unit awards
-
Study towards Functional Skills Mathematics and English
-
Open Awards Conservation certificates
These options reflect the school’s commitment to providing flexible, meaningful and appropriate learning pathways for pupils with diverse needs and starting points.
Contextual Statement on Progress
As a school working with small cohorts and pupils with non‑standard entry points, academic outcomes are considered alongside wider indicators such as engagement, skill development, personal growth and readiness for future education, training or employment.
Individual outcomes and destinations are shared with parents/carers and relevant professionals as part of ongoing transition and review processes.
