The Corner School is part of Unlocking Potential.  A registered charity founded in 2015 with the mission to work collaboratively with communities to enable children and young people with social emotional, and mental health needs (SEMH) to unlock their full potential.

We achieve our mission through our strategic goals:

• We deliver high performing therapeutic programmes and education provision for children and young people with social, emotional, and mental health needs (SEMH)

• We work in collaboration with families, communities, and other partners to ensure that children and young people access the interventions they need in order to thrive.

• We work in a trauma-informed way that is child centric and attachment based, with a total commitment to excellent safeguarding practice.

• We cultivate a work force of knowledgeable and skilled staff who are passionate about supporting children and young people to make positive changes in their lives.

Our Values

Trust

We build trust by being honest, transparent, ad accountable in the way we work with children and young people, staff, and partners and by providing services and programmes whose outcomes are measurable and evidence based. 

Collaborative

Relationships are at the heart of our work. We prioritise communication and collaboration with partners, families, and communities, believing that by working together we create more effective and holistic outcomes for children and young people.

Empowering

We co-create opportunities for our children, young people, parents/carers and staff to actively participate in decision-making that influences change.  We promote the voices of children and young people in our organisation and the wider community. 

Nurturing

We provide a nurturing approach based on safety and space for creativity, exploration, and growth.  We support and care for our children, young people, and staff to realise their potential.  

Impact

We are committed to measuring our impact through a data driven method in order to develop our programmes and make a greater difference to the lives of children, young people, and their parents and carers.
