Mission Statement

Our school, situated in Failsworth, intends to meet the needs of all young people that have perhaps needed a change from a mainstream education. We offer SEMH support and a fresh start to each pupil’s journey and provide a holistic approach in doing so. Teenage Kicks offers an array of subject areas whereby pupils can obtain qualifications and have opportunities to develop and progress to their maximal potential.

We offer vocational elements within our curriculum, giving pupils experience and a focus to progress at post-16. Vocational aspects to our curriculum include woodwork, hairdressing and barbering and photography.

At Teenage Kicks, we endeavour to ensure all parents/carers, staff, pupils and visitors feel welcomed within our school community and are supported upon arrival at Teenage Kicks.

'This small, friendly school is a beacon of light for the pupils who come here. Most have experienced considerable barriers and disruption to their earlier education. The school marks a welcome turning point. Once they join, pupils rediscover their appetite for learning. They thrive and blossom because of the strong relationships that they build with staff.'
