At Newbury Independent School our approach is the 'relationship model', this is where students and teachers work together in one form for all subjects. This type of setting is familiar to the students and is strategic in supporting them to settle in quite quickly. The student will have additional support where the specific curriculum or extra curriculum subjects falls outside the specialism of their form tutors. We recognise that the secondary school experience may be challenging to some students and we aim to work in partnership with all significant others, who are involved in the education of the young person, to achieve a positive outcome for the present and future.
