We value diverse perspectives and experiences and are striving to create a workplace culture that is inclusive, is accepting of all and is free from discrimination and bias.

The Coventry Extended Learning Centre (ELC) is a pupil referral unit for Key Stage 3 & 4 pupils who have struggled to access mainstream school education owing to a number of differing factors including exclusion. Our dedicated staff work to re-engage young people who commonly arrive with negative views of education, of their own prospects and of themselves. We build trust to enable them to stretch themselves and achieve their maximum potential.

The core purpose of Coventry ELC is ‘Enhancing Futures’ - maximising the potential of all our students. We seek to identify and meet our students’ needs to enable us to reintegrate them into mainstream school or into special educational settings or to support them to successfully complete Year 11 with us. We take huge pride and pleasure in helping young people to believe in themselves and others, moving on to a brighter future.

Our dedicated staff are fully committed to equipping our students with the knowledge and skills they need to lead fulfilled and happy lives. We have high expectations of the behaviour and performance of every pupil and foster an atmosphere of mutual respect between pupils and staff. We pride ourselves on providing the best quality teaching and pastoral care, fostering ambition and showing our students that through hard work they can fulfil their potential.
