Our School
On Track Wisbech school is an independent DFE registered, co-educational day school providing specialist education for students aged 11-18. We offer boys and girls with a range of special educational needs and diagnosis of communication difficulties, challenging behaviour, social, emotional and mental health difficulties and more complex needs, an opportunity to flourish in a more bespoke and individualised environment.
Alongside a personalised curriculum, students will have the benefit of an experienced and knowledgeable staff team who are able to deliver a therapeutic and holistic educational experience. We always strive to enable students to reach their personal best and to focus toward a successful future.
