Overview

Tees Valley College is a specialist setting for young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, combining academic study with preparation for further education, apprenticeships and employment. The route covers ages 11 to 19 and includes post-16 provision, with the scale and purpose shaped around pupils who need a more tailored secondary experience.

English and mathematics form the academic core alongside vocational subjects. Attendance, behaviour, safeguarding, SEND, relationships and sex education, careers and alternative-provision policies sit around that teaching. The model is practical and focused: pupils work towards qualifications and next steps while receiving the specialist structure required for their individual needs.

Keys 7KS Limited is the proprietor, while Tees Valley College retains a local acting headteacher and its own enquiry and referral route. A placement begins with information about the young person's needs, followed by a discussion of availability and next steps. An enquiry does not secure a place; suitability and capacity still have to be established.

Tees Valley College is best understood through the combination of specialist support, core learning and preparation beyond school. Its school-specific page sets out the teaching, policies and referral route without needing broader corporate claims about resources or therapeutic provision.
