Who We Support

Young people with complex SEMH and associated learning needs.

We support learners aged 5–18 with a range of needs including autism spectrum conditions, social, emotional and mental health difficulties, EBSA, trauma-related barriers to learning and associated learning needs. Most learners are referred by local authorities following an annual review, and all hold an EHCP.

Our Approach
  • A smiling schoolgirl sits at her desk with her chin resting on her crossed fingers, looking across the classroom.
  • A schoolboy works on a laptop, his hand over his mouth as he concentrates deeply
  • A young pupil looks up at the teacher, listening with curiosity
  • Two schoolboys sit together on a sofa, chatting
  • A schoolboy sits in the classroom, looking ahead attentively
  • A schoolboy writes in his exercise book while looking up towards the whiteboard
  • A schoolgirl in a bright red hoodie works on a laptop in the classroom, focused on her screen

What makes Leeds different

Calm. Safe. Connected.

Every classroom at Pivot Leeds has the same feeling. Staff know each learner by name, by history and by what they need on any given day. We build trust before timetables, and our outcomes show it works.
