New Rush Hall School
About us
The New Rush Hall School is a day special school for children
and young 
people aged five -16 years who have social, emotional and
behavioural difficulties.
Pupils are in classes of eight maximum, with a teacher and a
Learning Support Assistant.
The school is organised into Primary and Secondary
departments.
We aim wherever possible to enable pupils to return to a
mainstream school. Many pupils make a phased return to mainstream
school and some return full-time. Referrals for full-time places
are made by Redbridge Children's Services Authority.
Primary school
The Primary Department has 24 places for full-time pupils and
also some 12 part-time places for pupils who attend for up
to two days per week and remain on the roll of their
mainstream school, where they attend the other days.
Secondary school
The Secondary Department has 40 places and is organised into
five classes ranging from Year 7 to Year 11. Pupils follow the
National Curriculum and take SATS at the end of Year 9. At KS4
pupils take GCSE and GNVQ courses, linked to college and work
placements.
What Support is offered?
The school offers support in a number of ways:
- the educational experience
- in-class learning support
- additional literacy and numeracy support
- counselling
- anger management coaching
- social skills and cooperative experiences and
- the emotional curriculum.
The most important intervention the school makes is education.
It employs a range of specialist workers to enhance pupils'
experience.
