Welcome to
SENSES Learning Hub
An Alternative Provision offering a safe space for young people to thrive through creativity and therapeutic approaches providing a bridge to support education for 11-16 year olds with social, emotional & mental health needs.
SENSES Learning Hub caters to secondary school aged students with SEMH needs, emphasising engagement through creative projects to reignite their interest in learning. Located within the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, our nurturing environment offers small groups and specialised facilities like sensory chill-out zones and artist workshops. Collaborating with mainstream schools, home educated students, and local authorities, we provide support for learners to thrive and prepare for future challenges in education and the workplace.
SENSES Learning Hub is a Voluntary Ofsted registered Childcare Provider drawing on over 25 years of secondary education experience, offers extensive support to schools, SENCos, and Local Authorities, focusing on SEN, pastoral care, safeguarding, and therapeutic interventions. Through collaboration, the hub addresses vulnerable learners' needs by participating in reviews, creating student profiles, and enhancing communication between home, school and the hub. Embracing a holistic approach that includes families, schools, and external agencies, SENSES Learning Hub ensures comprehensive support for both students and their families.
SENSES Learning Hub offers a range of qualifications tailored to the needs of its students. These include vocational qualifications such as Discover Arts Award & Explore Arts AWard, functional skills tutoring in English and Maths, and programs through The Prince’s Trust focusing on personal, social and health learning. Additionally, the hub supports Key Stage 4 students in developing their GCSE Art & Design studies in alignment with school curriculums.
At SENSES Learning Hub, we understand the unique needs of every child and offer a supportive environment drawing from our varied experiences. Our trauma informed approach in a relaxed studio setting caters to young people who require specialised support. We provide diverse art based experiences, as well as tailored support in Maths and English within our SEN framework. Collaborating closely with local authorities and schools, we create bespoke packages for each child, particularly those with EHCP plans. Additionally, we prioritise connecting parents and carers of students with SEMH needs.
At Senses Learning Hub, we provide talking therapies to offer essential emotional support. Our skilled team strives to cultivate benefits such as introducing therapy, addressing gaps in specialist intervention and fostering supportive relationships in a secure environment. With our therapeutic setting and expertise in Counselling Children & Adolescents, we prioritise mental wellbeing while encouraging creativity and positive growth. Our comprehensive approach targets resilience, functional skills, communication and organisation, aiming to promote overall happiness and wellbeing in young people.
Our alternative provision offers tailored support and flexible learning opportunities for students through creative & therapeutic practices.

Educational excellence within an inspirational environment.
SENSES Learning Hub is a Creative Alternative Provision that provides a bridge to education for 11 to 16 year olds with social, emotional and/or mental health (SEMH) needs, who find mainstream provision challenging.
We provide a unique educational offer at our independent studio, within the grounds of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, that immerses the most vulnerable of young people in an inspiring, creative and uplifting environment.
Due to the nature of our unique environment & our years of experience in working with students with SEN who have EHCPs, we can support secondary SENCOs in providing specific and tailored interventions that are not always achievable in a mainstream setting. This allows students to make greater progress towards their outcomes and development.
