Welcome to The Fountains High School

At Fountains, our school is built around the values of Kind Hearts, Wise Minds, and Brave Souls. These values guide every aspect of our provision, helping students develop the autonomy, competence, and relatedness they need to thrive. It is with great pride that I welcome you to our school. There is something very special about The Fountains High School, and we are incredibly proud of our unique students, supportive parents, inspirational staff, and forward-thinking governors. Together, we create a safe, happy, and fun place to learn and prepare for adulthood. At Fountains, our curriculum is built around the values of Kind Hearts, Wise Minds, and Brave Souls, inspired by the principles of Self-Determination Theory. These values guide every aspect of our provision, helping students develop the autonomy, competence, and relatedness they need to thrive. We offer three distinct curriculum pathways – Kaleidoscope, Mosaic, and Nexus – each tailored to meet the diverse needs of our learners. These pathways ensure that every student receives a personalised, inclusive, and aspirational education that celebrates their individuality and supports their journey toward independence. We are proud to provide an environment that enables all students to gain the knowledge, skills, and aptitudes to make informed choices, create opportunities, and respond to change. Our curriculum fosters deep connections, emotional wellbeing, and meaningful engagement, helping students build self-belief, self-awareness, and strong, lasting relationships. Students are encouraged to seek out opportunities for kindness and happiness—for themselves and others, creating an environment where we all belong.Mr Gareth Allen - Executive Headteacher”
