About Bluebank School

Bluebank School is an Acorn Education school in Chesterfield, providing specialist education for students aged 11 to 16 with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs and other complex learning needs. We are committed to creating a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where every student feels valued, supported and encouraged to achieve their full potential.

With small class sizes, personalised learning programmes and a highly supportive approach, we help students develop the academic, social and life skills they need to succeed. Our tailored curriculum combines National Curriculum learning with a strong focus on emotional wellbeing, resilience, communication and independence.

At Bluebank School, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. We celebrate individuality, build confidence and empower students to overcome challenges, recognise their strengths and achieve meaningful success. Guided by our ethos that everybody is somebody, we work together to ensure every young person feels respected, included and ready for their future.

We support students with a wide range of complex, co-occurring and neurodivergent needs, including autism, ADHD, SEMH, speech and communication needs, dyslexia and experiences of trauma or adversity.

We are proud to be a part of OFG Education who in 2025 were officially certified as a 'Great Place to Work' for the sixth year running.
