Our curriculum offer is focused on developing the whole learner, working with their interests to engage them in education in order for them to feel successful and take positive steps to their journey to adulthood.

Local Authority Special Educational Needs officers request placement consideration with Pivot following receipt of an annual review. Our admissions process has been comprehensively constructed to ensure we understand the learners needs and can deliver the provision detailed in the learners EHCP.

Our Academies
Kirklees Academies
Pivot Kirklees offers a therapeutic nurture provision for learners with complex social, emotional, mental health and other associated learning needs.
We offer education for learners aged 7 to 11 and 11 to 16 years on our main sites in Kirklees. Kirklees is also home to the Pivot Outreach Programme (POP) which is a specialist provision for KS3 and KS4 learners with an Education Health Care Plan who have been out of an education setting for a period of at least 6 months. We cater for a variety of needs, but particularly SEMH. Our Pivot 6 provision, specifically for KS3 and KS4 learners permanently excluded from mainstream school is located a short drive from our main Kirklees sites.
Leeds Academies
Pivot Leeds comprises three closely located buildings in the east of the city. Our provision offers a therapeutic, nurture-based provision for learners with Autism, complex social interaction needs, emotional challenges and other learning needs. Our new LINKS provision that supports learners with anxiety and EBSA needs has its own bespoke building.
