At Halton School

What makes Halton School special is our staff's ability to foster excellent working relationships with our students where other schools haven't managed. Our students require specialist support from the English Teacher to help them feel supported enough to engage in learning and it is this caring, nurturing, trauma informed environment that we provide.

While we recognise the importance of, and our students work towards, formal qualifications such as AQA unit awards, Functional Skills and GCSEs, we also ensure our students leave us with a wide range of life skills and qualities by taking part in activities such as outdoor learning, swimming, horse riding, rock climbing, E-Sports, boxing and many, many more.
