Morley
School

Located on the outskirts of Maidenhead, our new school offers a safe and supportive environment for young people aged between 5 and 18 with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties (SEMH).

Our young people may also have several diagnoses including ASD, ADHD, FASD, anxiety and/or, communication and interaction, cognition, and learning needs.

Our vision is to provide a nurturing learning environment where young people can thrive, feel supported, safe and are then able to leave school happy with relevant experiences and outcomes to enable them to contribute to the wider community.

Our main goal in education is to help young people to reach their full potential. At Polaris we recognise the importance of specialist education and support for young people who need a tailored approach to learning.

Passionate about Education

With an opening target date of September 2025 (pending Ofsted Registration), we are pleased to introduce Morley School, based just 1 mile south of Maidenhead town centre. Our historic site, dating back to 1675, provides the perfect back drop for a nurturing and supportive learning environment.

At Morley School, we believe in the power of environment to shape young minds, that’s why we have carefully designed and presented every aspect of our school from the general teaching rooms to specialised science and food tech spaces, library and reading areas, to our multipurpose room and communal areas. All our classrooms are furnished to the highest standard with state-of-the-art IT facilities and a wide range of engaging learning resources. These facilities enable us to deliver a comprehensive positive educational experience that aligns with the National Curriculum while also offering tailored learning opportunities to meet the diverse and challenging needs of our pupils.

Our approach to education is rooted in a deep passion for providing high-quality, aspirational learning experiences tailored to each child’s individual needs. We understand that each pupil is unique, which is why we offer personalised learning programs tailored to their individual needs. Our holistic approach ensures that therapeutic principles are seamlessly integrated into every aspect of our educational practices, fostering a nurturing and supportive environment for all children.
