Overview
Overview
Evergreen works at an unusually intimate scale: four pupils against capacity for eight, with ages spanning 7 to 16. It belongs to the Roaches network, where care and education plans sit beside a balanced curriculum for children who have found learning difficult. Individual support and an anti-discriminatory approach are part of the day-to-day model rather than add-ons.
Learning, life and contribution to the community are held together across the provision. That focus is matched by proactive support and attention to each child's circumstances, making Evergreen quite different from a conventional all-through setting. It is mixed and non-selective, with neither boarding nor sixth-form education.
Evergreen is based at Greenhills Farm on Ipstones Edge and the age range ends at 16. A dedicated contact route covers both Parkgate and Evergreen enquiries, but no entrance-assessment timetable is available. Its small roll is the defining practical feature, so the setting and support offered need considering together.
Key points
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.
