Information about the school

Stratton Education Centre consists of seven centres across the borough of Swindon that support a range of different special educational needs. The service is undergoing restructuring. Students and staff refer to the provision as Education Other Than At School (EOTAS). The Riverside Centre provides full-time education for students with anxiety difficulties about school attendance. The majority of students who attend this particular provision are successfully reintegrated back into mainstream schools. The Hillside Unit provides full-time education for pregnant teenagers and teenage mothers who are unable to attend mainstream school. A successful reduction in the number of teenage pregnancies in Swindon has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of students requiring access to this provision. The Stratton Centre caters for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (BESD) who are excluded permanently from Swindon schools.
