Welcome to Atkinson
“We help children and young people to manage their emotions.
“We provide a safe and secure home for up to 10 young people aged 10-17, on a welfare-only basis, who are experiencing crisis in their lives because they are placing themselves and others at risk, or have a history of absconding from previous placements.
“We offer postive intensive support to each young person, giving them opportunities to develop to their full potential. And we redcue their risk so they can return to a positive lifestyle in the community.”
Darren Beattie, Atkinson Manager
Please pass on our sincere thanks and congratulations to all students and staff involved with producing your fantastic student council film. We showcased your film at our recent Sentient event, to a large and wide-ranging audience who were all very impressed. It gave us a much greater understanding of the many activities that students are involved with. We especially enjoyed hearing students describe some of their favourite activities and other aspects of their daily lives at school. Hearing the school described through the voice of your students was both an instructive and positive experience for everyone present. Once again, please pass on our congratulations and thanks to all involved.
