Aims of The Phoenix Centre
Aims and Values of the Phoenix Centre
The Phoenix Centre supports young people at Tier 3 and 4 of the DSPL4 Behaviour Service. We offer intensified outreach and short-term provision for primary school aged children who are at risk of permanent exclusion. Children who attend The Phoenix Centre will receive bespoke therapeutic packages of support and nurture, led by our skilled practitioners. These are designed to help children develop skills they would need to be successful in their mainstream school and future education. We are also able to provide short-term educational support for children who have been permanently excluded. Staff at the Phoenix Centre aim to deliver educational excellence to support children with improving their behaviour, emotional regulation and re discover a love of learning.
The three values that we embed at the Phoenix Centre are ‘Ready, Respectful and Safe’ and these link with the over-arching values at Rivers.
