Hopewell is an independent special school for children and young people who have an EHCP for social, emotional, mental health and learning needs.

We provide child centred specialist education and therapeutic support across our two sites the school based in Dagenham and our vocational centre motorvations@hopewell in Romford.We believe passionately in supporting and nurturing our pupils as well as aspiring to provide them with outstanding and creative learning opportunities.

By empowering our pupils, building their self-confidence and enabling them to develop their individual strengths we endeavour to provide them with the skills they need to lead constructive and fulfilling adult lives.

The Aim of The Pda Programme Is to Provide Our Pupils with The Opportunity to Develop Key Character Skills and Attributes- Respect, Communication,collaboration, Perserverence,problem Solving, Resilience, Adaptability, Team Working.

By taking part in our programme of activities we aim to:

Understand that the decisions they make are important factors of their own success and well-being and positive outcomes.

Fulfil responsibilities and contribute positively to the lives of others within the school, the local community and wider society

In April 2011 the “Pupil Premium” was introduced.
The aim was to allocate additional funding to schools to support children from low income families who were identified through their entitlement to free school meals and children who had been “Looked After” by a Local Authority continuously for more than six months.

The aim of Pupil Premium funding is to help bridge the gap between children from disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers.

Places at Hopewell School and motorvations@hopewell provide specialist educational and therapeutic interventions to some of the most complex young people. As such the Pupil Premium is a minor percentage relative to the cost of a placement, however any funding enables us to develop and support individual interventions to support our young people either through the school setting or through additional personalised interventions. These interventions are agreed by Local Authorities, the school and by obtaining pupils views through the Annual Review and when appropriate PEP review meetings.
