Springwell Alternative Academy Mablethorpe

Springwell Alternative Academy Mablethorpe is a Specialist Alternative Provision for pupils with Social, emotional and mental health difficulties. They provide education for pupils from KS1 through to KS4 (Y1-Y11). Pupils in KS4 will usually stay with us until the end of Y11 but for pupils in KS1-3 (Y1-9) we are a short stay provision. There is no set time for this process and it will depend on each individual child or young person’s needs. Regardless of their next steps they aim for pupils to leave Springwell feeling valued and successful.

At Springwell our values are fundamental to everything we do. We believe in second chances, trauma informed practice, unconditional positive regard and a culture of nurture and support. Our aim is to work with our pupils to identify their needs and provide the best possible opportunities for all our pupils to develop and thrive in a climate of support, guidance and authentic care. We value the support of all of our families and believe that if we work in partnership, understand the collective challenges and face them together then we can really make a difference.

 Overall Assessment:

"Springwell offers a haven for vulnerable children and young people. It is a warm, nurturing environment that sets high expectations and encourages young people to achieve their very best within culture that respects the individuality and uniqueness of each child and young person. Springwell promotes unconditional positive regard and all adults practice this in their interactions and interventions with children and each other. Students speak highly of the school and describe it as a place to have fun where adults are friendly and supportive, and everyone gets along like a family." - TISUK Assessor
