Description
Wemms Education Centre is Independent Secondary school in Not applicable for kids aged 10 to 20 (Gender - 10 to 20 )
Wemms is proud to declare itself a ‘marmite’ school… you will love us or hate us. The school is for individuals and mavericks who yearn for a bespoke education, which allows them to learn in their own way and at their own pace.Whilst determined to ensure all our students have an opportunity to gain outstanding academic qualifications, they believe it is vital that education and school life should also feed the soul, encourage the heart to sing and the face to smile. We are committed to ensuring our alumni are active, independent and successful citizens of 21st century Britain.'Wemms offers a holistic approach to education. They offer a wide range of trips and experiences that help our students build resilience, social skills, and flexibility. They think out-of the-box and reach for goals that the students once thought unattainable. The PE programme offers the opportunity for personal challenge and builds stamina. The supportive ‘soft skills’ curriculum ensures our students leave them as confident verbal communicators who can cook, maintain a home and enjoy a wide range of leisure activities.

CURRICULUM
Education is much more than achieving GCSE and A Level qualifications and should always feed the soul as well as the mind. Whilst most people may not be able to secure grade 9 right across the spectrum of academic study, everyone can become a grade-A person, and this is what will really make the world a better place.Wemms understands that knowledge is cumulative and that, in reality, the journey to GCSE starts in year 7. They will work with your child to find out their unique position in every subject and write them a curriculum that is specific to their needs. They expect to fill in gaps, reach beyond the basic syllabus and have them ready to take public exams in year 10, 11, 12… when they are ready. We are not concerned by league tables. The aim is to ensure the students have the opportunity to achieve the EBAC qualification in their year 11/12. This means they will all be offered a common core of Maths, Statistics, English Language, English Literature, Modern Foreign Language (MFL), Science and either History or Geography.

Things to note
Enrich the social skills
Trips are an integral part of the holistic education at Wemms and do not incur additional costs. Each experience is meticulously planned to enrich the student’s social skills (usually addressing specific points from EHCP plans), develop their understanding of British values and heritage, and widen their experience of the world in general.Many of the trips also present curriculum-based content in a vibrant and memorable manner. Trips are a learning experience in their own right and at Wemms, we firmly believe that it is not necessary to capture every learning opportunity in the written word. However, we may use the stimulus of the trips to explore different concepts further in a variety of other ways.
