Cambian Scarborough School

Cambian Scarborough School is an independent, DfE-registered, co-educational day school, providing specialist education for up to 18 students, aged 8 – 18 years.

The school is non-denominational and has a secular ethos, but respects the cultural needs and religious beliefs of all. The School specialises in educating students with SEMH through flexible learning programmes, delivered using high-quality teaching and exceptional pastoral care. We achieve this by forming particularly strong relationships between teachers and students.

Behavioural management strategies are applied consistently and sensitively, ensuring that students are clear about boundaries and expectations, so that behaviour in classes contributes to good academic progress. The motto in every classroom for students is to ‘give respect and get respect’ and this contributes strongly to improving their personal and social skills. We also place emphasis on preparation for adult life, particularly through the personal, social, citizenship and health (PSCH) curriculum.

Our aim is to make sure that our students continue to develop – academically, emotionally and socially – by:

• Providing a well-ordered, positive and supportive environment where each student has the opportunity to flourish and succeed, whatever their abilities


• Promoting high expectations of each other’s standard of work, conduct and appearance


• Encouraging participation in a caring and supportive community, founded on mutual respect


• Sustaining an ethos which enables students to develop into mature independent citizens, equipped to make a positive contribution to a rapidly changing world


• Establishing a safe environment in which to develop positive behaviour, thus raising self-esteem


• Liaising with parents to ensure that all methods of learning and communication continue into the home.
