The Harbour

The Harbour is a nurturing and inclusive provision within Penair School that offers additional support for students who may benefit from a more personalised learning environment. As part of our commitment to meeting a range of individual needs, students can access core curriculum lessons within the Harbour, taught by specialist teachers in smaller class sizes. This allows for greater individual support, tailored teaching approaches, and opportunities to build confidence and independence.

Alongside academic provision, the Harbour provides a calm and supportive environment where students can receive guidance with their emotional wellbeing, helping them to overcome barriers to learning and achieve success both in and beyond the classroom. The Harbour also includes a dedicated sensory space for students who may benefit from sensory regulation and a number of quiet individual work rooms, separate from the main learning area, where students can access focused support, complete work in a low-distraction environment, or take time to regulate when needed. These facilities enable us to provide flexible, individualised support that promotes wellbeing, engagement, and positive outcomes for all learners.
