About Sage

We're here for young people who need a school to call home.

The Sage School was founded by two teachers who saw many young people missing out on education. School was too bewildering, too busy, too big. We built the school for them.

Welcome from the Headteacher

Welcome to The Sage School

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our unique and nurturing school community. At The Sage School, we are dedicated to supporting secondary and post-16 pupils who experience anxiety and co-occurring needs, helping them to rediscover confidence, develop resilience, and achieve their full potential.

We understand that for many of our young people, previous educational experiences may have been challenging. Anxiety can have a significant impact on learning, relationships, attendance, and wellbeing. Our specialist approach is built upon understanding, compassion, and a commitment to creating an environment where every pupil feels safe, valued, and respected.

At The Sage School, we recognise that each pupil's journey is different. Our highly skilled staff work closely with pupils, families, and external professionals to provide personalised support that addresses both educational and emotional needs.

Our curriculum is ambitious, flexible, and designed to meet the diverse needs of our learners. Alongside academic achievement, we place equal importance on developing social skills, emotional wellbeing, self-advocacy, and life skills that enable our pupils to thrive both within school and beyond.

We are proud of the warm, inclusive, and supportive culture that exists throughout our school. Every success is celebrated, every voice is heard, and every pupil is encouraged to believe in their own potential.

Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. We hope that The Sage School will provide the specialist support, understanding, and opportunities that your child needs to flourish.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing more about how we can support your child's educational journey.

Warm regards,

Mrs G Fulcher
