A Safe Start to a Strong Future
Cherry Grove Learning Centre: A Safe Start to a Strong Future
Some young people cannot thrive in large, busy school settings. Anxiety, phobias, sensory needs, medical conditions or past trauma may all prevent them from accessing full-time education.
At Cherry Grove Learning Centre, we provide a calm, compassionate environment with ultra-small group teaching, personalised study plans, and wraparound emotional and academic support.
We are not a mainstream school — we are an alternative learning provision with a focus on recovery, re-engagement, and readiness.
For many of our learners, this is their first positive experience of education in years.
We work in close partnership with families, local authorities, professionals, and national agencies such as Welsh Rugby Union, Cricket Wales, and Sport Wales to ensure no child is left behind.
