Shortenills - permanent school provision in nurture settings   

Shortenills and Shortenills Abbey are our schools for students from Year 7 to 11 with social, emotional and/or mental health (SEMH) needs.

We believe that students with these needs can benefit hugely from both nurture and nature. Both sites offer a loving and nurturing environment, with caring staff and complimentary, bespoke systems in place to benefit the students on a daily basis.

Please note that the Shortenills schools are only for students with Educational Health and Care Plans for SEMH difficulties. All students come through the Local Authority by having Aspire Shortenills/Shortenills Abbey named on their plan. We are unable to accept referrals direct to Aspire.
