Creating windows of opportunity for young people

The School Group/Norton Option

The school group provides alternative education for Y10 and Y11 pupils from The Norton School who are at risk of permanent exclusion. This programme is tailored to suit the individual learning needs of the young people whilst identifying barriers perceived or real that are preventing them from accessing mainstream educational opportunities available to them. This scheme offers accreditation opportunities such as ASDAN, CoPE, Edexcel and OCN.
