Welcome To The Write Time School

Everyone achieves.
Everyone succeeds.

We are the UK’s first William Glasser Quality School, providing a nurturing, inclusive environment where students with special education needs achieve success both in school and beyond.

It’s Not Until They Know That You Care, They Will Care About What You Know.

Our unique approach

At The Write Time we use Choice Theory to empower students to take control of their learning and personal growth. Each student follows a personalised learning pathway, supported by mentoring and therapeutic programmes. Our small class sizes are led by a qualified teacher and a Learning Development Tutor, ensuring that every learner receives the focused, individual attention they need.

  • Specialist SEN Support – With years of experience, our team provides the expert care and guidance your child needs to succeed.
  • Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ – We’re proud of our reputation for quality education and pastoral care, recognised by Ofsted.

Headteacher’s welcome


It is a privilege to welcome you to The Write Time Independent School. We believe that every young person deserves a safe and inspiring space to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. At The Write Time, our team is dedicated to supporting every child academically, personally, and emotionally, so they can thrive both in school and in life.

As the first Glasser School in the UK, we pride ourselves on supporting our pupils using Choice Theory and Reality Therapy as the keys to unlock their potential and achieve their very best. At The Write Time, our dedicated and experienced staff ensure that every pupil follows a bespoke curriculum, one that marries specialist support to an appropriate curriculum that has been purposefully planned to achieve individual goals in academic, vocational and personal development – staff teams focus on EHC targets and ensure that every pupil has access to therapeutic input that meets individual special needs. 

Our curriculum is tailored to each student’s needs, incorporating specialist SEN support, vocational opportunities, and a wide range of qualifications including GCSEs, Functional Skills, and vocational awards.

Our spacious and safe school site enriches our curriculum offer, providing airy learning spaces that enable pupils to fully engage in learning that is experiential, progressive and fully supported by our therapeutic curriculum. The school layout encourages our pupils to feel nurtured, accepted and empowered to take on new challenges throughout their learning journey and be prepared to take their next steps as well-rounded citizens, ready to integrate into society.

The Write Time Independent School Team look forward to welcoming visits from professionals, parents/carers and children. To book a tour of our school, please contact our school office.

Empowering Every Student to Succeed

This is why, as an independent secondary school, we work with students with a variety of additional needs, including (but not limited to): ASD, Asperger’s, ADHD, Global Developmental Delay, PTSD, Dyslexia, and Dyscalculia.

every student receives the personalised support they need to Thrive


We combine specialised SEN support with tailored curricula and therapeutic interventions, which allows our students to thrive in a nurturing environment. Our goal is to equip young people with the skills and confidence they need for a bright future.
