Overview

Reintegration shapes Core Training and Development's work with pupils whose mainstream places are at risk. Its Leeds provision is a structured alternative setting focused on emotional wellbeing, personal development and re-engagement. Most pupils are referred by a home setting and remain dual registered there, so this route stays connected to an existing education journey rather than following a conventional open-entry timetable.

The registered provision serves ages 8 to 16. Key Stage 3 and 4 work includes English, mathematics, science and creative arts, with AQA Activate science alongside music, art, drama and a garden project. The curriculum has an intentionally practical and responsive feel, linking subject learning to the work of rebuilding confidence and engagement.

The wider organisation works across Leeds and Barnsley, but the registered provision is the Leeds centre at Networks House. Keeping those two levels distinct matters: a family may encounter the broader organisation while placement, staffing and education remain tied to the Leeds setting and its referral arrangements.

There is no standard independent-school application timetable. A placement enquiry is made through the organisation and usually involves the child's existing school or local authority. The practical questions are referral responsibility, dual-registration arrangements, the starting plan and how the provision will support a return to a mainstream setting when that is appropriate.

Key points

Assessment route
Applications are made directly to the school. Check the school's own admissions pages for registration dates, entrance assessment stages, interviews, fees, scholarships and bursaries.
Places and demand
Published Year 7 place numbers and applicant-per-place data are not included in GIAS for this private-school seed profile.
Catchment
Private-school eligibility is not controlled by the local-authority grammar catchment model; check boarding, day-pupil, transport and any sibling or faith rules on the school site.
Results
Independent-school performance data is patchier in official releases, so GCSE and A-level comparisons should be checked against the school's published results.
