Our School

​School Ethos and Aims

Birribi School provides a nurturing and inclusive learning environment for pupils with Childhood Trauma and ACES as well as SEMH and autism. Our aim is to develop confidence, independence, and a love of learning through a bespoke curriculum that recognises and supports the individual needs of every pupil. We promote wellbeing, resilience, and engagement as part of preparing pupils for successful future pathways. We are committed to working closely with pupils, parents/carers and social workers, with regular reports and updates regarding individual progress, targets and achievements

For those children who are at Birribi and are in mainstream education, we aim to offer an uplifted level of support; we offer direct liaison and communication between our education team and schools in conjunction with the care home teams. We are actively involved in contributing to meetings and reports, while working collaboratively with education providers.

As a company that works primarily through supporting the needs and wishes of vulnerable children and young adults, we would be very pleased to answer any queries from prospective parents and interested Local Authorities. Our referral process for enrolment at Birribi Education can be obtained from enquiries@birribi.org.
