About Our Education
Our overriding purpose is to enrich our communities in terms of our students, their families, workforce, and our local and wider communities.
As part of our commitment to reducing educational and social inequality, we support families, other agencies, and stakeholders by providing a programme of specialist training and bespoke support packages with agreed outcomes.
Our singular vision is to support students to ‘awaken their potential,’ through great quality education.
Our Values
We define ourselves by our values. They influence how we treat one another, our learners and people we support. They are what put the ‘Bright’ in Bright Futures. We achieve our vision by staying true to our values.
We Work Together
With the people we provide support and education to, with their families, with our community, and with our fellow professionals. Together we are one team.
We Care
We have unwavering commitment to the people we provide support and education to. We offer specialist care, education and therapeutic support tailored to meet each individual’s needs.
We Learn & Grow
By listening, reflecting and learning we make changes to continuously improve what we do.
We Are a Safe Pair Of Hands
We understand how difficult it can be for families to place their loved one in a new school or in the care of others. With our open, calm and supportive approach we are by your side for the journey ahead.
We currently have two independent special schools, Willow Tree Park School which is based in Lymm, Cheshire and Ash Meadow School based in St Helen’s. Our schools provide education for children and young people aged 4 to 25 years with learning disabilities and autism, many of whom have additional complex needs and who can display behaviours of concern. Our students may live in our care homes or with their families. All our students have an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP).
Over the next four years, we plan to expand our educational offer in the North West. Our educational blueprints, focus on high-quality professional development, and staff expertise will support us on our journey to achieve this.
We are uncompromising in our commitment to ensure that, regardless of which school a student attends, every child and young person can be guaranteed a high quality, life-changing education.
Our schools are ably supported by members of the school improvement team, extended education leadership team, and Governors who, through robust quality assurance, provide appropriate levels of support and challenge as required.
The Propietor is Bright Futures Care Ltd (Knows as Bright Futures).
