Excelsior Academy opened in 2008 and has since become Newcastle’s most improved secondary school, consistently judged as good by Ofsted. With a unique and innovative approach to learning and teaching centred around the individual strengths, interests and needs of each pupil, our schools within a school model enables us to provide all our pupils with greater attention and care, and this shows in our academic results, particularly in terms of pupil progress.

Thomas Bewick School is a special school within Prosper Learning Trust in Newcastle upon Tyne. It is for children and young people between three and nineteen years with autistic spectrum conditions. All pupils have a Statement of Special Educational Needs/ Education Health and Care Plan or are in the assessment process. They have a range of learning difficulties; some will require a high level of adult support to access the curriculum, whilst others achieve close to age-related expectations in some areas.

I attend local toddler groups, local library. Local park , school fun days, swimming pools, nature tots.  I have a small back yard with climbing frames and sit and ride toys.

I offer a warm, comfortable & friendly welcoming environment. Children have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities which reflect our diverse society ie books, cooking and baking, arts and crafts, playdough, computer, trips to museums, soft play, beach, park and picnics.

We have a large secure outdoor play area providing play equipment swings, slides, seesaw, playhouse, water and sandplay we also have a greenhouse where children can grow their own fruit and vegetables.

Children come to us for 1 or 2 hours per week, during which time they participate in interactive maths and English courses that are tailored to their needs and mapped to the national curriculum. 

We can take on members between the ages of 4-16. The centre acts as a positive, fun learning environment and concentrates on improving the child's confidence and self esteem so that they can reach their full potential. We also offer GCSE Maths tuition, 11+ exam preparation as well as our standard packages. 

I am a qualified nursery nurse and ofsted registered childminder graded good with in excess of 27 years post qualifying experience, caring for children from birth to 12 years. I offer a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities to develop and stretch the children and for them to make friendships with others both adults and children.
