We cherish and value the staff appreciating that there are people who work really hard in the background as well as in the classrooms, to ensure our pupils get the best life chances they can. We firmly believe that these same principles also apply to the adults who work here. Warmth, humour and unconditional regard are inherent aspects of our provision here. We ensure our young people feel safe and secure, making them feel welcome and wanted as part of a school community. We work hard to understand the causes of social emotional and mental health issues and develop support for the child or young person holistically through a plan involving expertise from across the school. We see behaviour as mostly a form of communication as well as learned responses. Others are still emotionally at a much younger age than they actually are. Others have learned to behave in a manner that creates a sense of self-worth. Some of our young people have early experiences that lead them to behave in particular ways to protect themselves from harm. Here at Tor School we take the time to invest in those relationships and see them as the foundation on which everything else is built. Very often the reason young people find it hard to cope in mainstream schools, is that despite all the wonderful support they receive, staff do not have the time to build relationships and truly understand what makes them tick.
We are a school built on core values that permeate throughout the organisation. It is an alternative to mainstream school and we work together alongside our partner schools to build Learning Plans for children and young people who may be struggling to cope in their current placement. Tor School is part of the continuum of provision for vulnerable children and young people in the Mendip Area of Somerset. Some young people find this more difficult than others for a variety of reasons. There are times when this makes a full time placement in a mainstream school inappropriate. This is a natural part of developing as a person.
