Phoenix School

Phoenix School Classroom

Phoenix School is the education provider for all young people admitted to Cygnet Hospital Sheffield. Teaching happens within a well-resourced school unit, with specialist teachers and is equipped with classrooms and an ICT suite. The school also has access to a kitchen, gymnasium, outside courtyard and therapeutic garden.

We are unable to accept requests for school places from individuals or local authorities; each school place is linked to a bed on our CAMHS wards.

Our Vision

In partnership with the wider hospital we provide a stimulating safe haven where everyone is valued and respected. We promote resilience and risk-taking by delivering lessons guided by our students curiosity and celebrating all successes.

We respect the students’ rights, beliefs and values providing personalised curriculums and learning opportunities inside and outside of school, which enable our students to be empowered to meet future challenges.
