Who We Are
Through our comprehensive training programs, we aim to establish a school network of strong, positive, and supportive relationships , thereby promoting a culture of growth and development for our students.
We provide for young people with complex needs, including those who have experienced trauma and multiple adverse childhood experiences. All our students have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) , with the primary need being identified as Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) in most cases.
We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment that promotes academic and personal growth.
Ross Banks: Proprietor / Principal
“Phoenix Bay School is a trauma-informed independent school providing therapeutic education to support students to develop increasingly independent lives, leading to them thrive in adulthood.
The school provides a specialised, small, nurturing environment for traumatised students who have been unable to access education in larger class settings or mainstream education. The students attending Phoenix Bay School will have often been excluded or unable to manage both ordinary schools and other specialist educational provisions.”
The Phoenix Bay Mission
To create authentic opportunities for students in a trauma-informed education setting, leading to students thriving beyond the classroom and prepared for the challenges of everyday life. To support all students to become intuitive and to reach their potential.

WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT US
“In the past, my son has always really struggled in formal school settings, leading to him missing out on education. He has complex needs which are all being met with compassion and a very individual package by Phoenix Bay. Every member of staff makes my son feel safe and because of this, he is engaging in learning like he never has before. His confidence is growing and he is being introduced to new experiences that although he finds difficult, he is trying. The gentle but persistent way that Phoenix Bay approaches learning is really working and we really are very grateful!”
