OUR PHILOSOPHY

We have an inclusive philosophy and believe passionately in giving every learner the opportunity to succeed in their personal, social, health and academic development.

We aim to provide at the Helix Education Centre a supportive, nurturing and therapeutic environment to enable our pupils to reengage in their academic work and social learning.

Everyone at The Helix works to create an atmosphere in which pupils feel secure and valued and encouraged to progress academically, socially and personally.  We aim to develop in our pupils a sense of moral values, especially respect for others and their property, which will enable them to become responsible and considerate members of any community.

We encourage all our pupils to strive towards achieving their true potential and work to become individuals who value learning with, and from others as a life-long process. Independence of thought and action is encouraged in our pupils, together with application of learning, initiative and perseverance as part of their learning experience.
