Paignton Academy – STEPS – Enhanced Provision for students with anxiety/phobic difficulties

The Academy is the designated secondary school in Torbay for students with anxiety/phobic difficulties.  As such, we have local authority funded places to ensure that Torbay has educational provision available for young people with a range-related difficulty.  This provision is based off-site at the Great Parks Community Centre and provides bespoke education for students placed by the local authority.  We tailor educational programmes for individuals that include core subject lessons plus humanities and physical activities.  The aim of the provision being to provide a step back into formal education, improve social interaction, and promote a desire to learn within students.

Admissions Criteria

Students must have an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP) which identifies that they have anxiety/phobic difficulties. Admissions are managed by the Torbay Local Authority SEND Team.
