Looking for an educational environment that ignites your child's passion and curiosity? Join us at our latest Open Day & explore the possibilities. Save the Date: Mon 29th April, 4.45pm at SML College Email Tracy to reserve a space - [email protected] We'd love to meet you
@KnownSurf @MrLeeDaviid There are schools like this in UK Summerhill & @smlcbrighton are two well known ones but they are few paying although they have a hardship fund too for those that really need but can’t afford I believe? Interestingly SMLC is cheaper to run than a standard state school.
Not received your 1st choice secondary school place for Sept? Have you considered SML College? In our small, supportive, environment, students 9-17 shape their own learning. No imposed curriculum, no timetable, just a welcoming space where curiosity thrives & passions ignite.
At SML College, we believe in nurturing individuality without judgment. It's a lively and exciting place where students explore, discover, and grow. Plus, our track record speaks volumes - every student leaving at 16 has progressed to Further Education or a career.
Ready to discover a new approach to education? We have an Open Day on April 29th 4.45 to 6.45pm – please reserve a place at [email protected]. Or contact us to arrange a visit and see the SML difference first-hand!
We continue to use the excellent Arts Award qualification that has been developed by the Arts Council. The advantage to us is that it allows students to create their own personalised portfolios of real learning and at the same time gain GCSE level qualifications. 1/
While older students generally do take their own selections of GCSEs, such exams are often limited in not showing the full extent of student learning. The Arts Award allows a much richer picture of achievement to show through. Find out more here - artsaward.org.uk 2/

@cushiebuttercup @mossgatherer_ Summerhill is still going and @smlcbrighton run a consent based self-directed school. There are many different models trying to do things differently, against the grain. It’s not easy, we should make it easier for those that want/need this.
