Flexi-Schooling
We are pleased to be able to offer flexi-schooling from July 2025 for children who are currently home educated and we have taken careful and considerate advice with the way we organise this provision. We have sought support from Hollinsclough School in Stafford, the official home of flexi-schooling. We have benefitted from their advice, guidance and support based on their long standing experience and expertise with a flexi school offer.
Here at Matlock Bath, our offer is based on three core days a week, these days are set; Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and there is an option to attend additional days at request for short periods. For the 'home school' days we record this absence on the register as a code C which is the recommended code to be used.
The school sits in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales, where we make the most of our beautiful surroundings through use of 'the big outdoors' whenever possible. We provide a huge range of curriculum breadth: forest school, reading adventure days, visitors to school, external provider led activities to name but a few. Our preference for curriculum provision is to focus on a creative approach to learning whilst maintaining essential daily learning in maths and english. We have an exceptional adult to pupil ratio with 42 pupils currently on roll. This enables us to focus very much on individual children and ensure that we can offer a bespoke approach to our pupil's varying needs.
