Apex Specialist Education Homepage

Thank you for visiting our website. We hope it gives you a clear sense of what makes Apex Specialist Education such a purposeful, supportive and successful place for young people. We invite you to explore our work, learn about our school community, or get in touch to find out more.

Apex Specialist Education is built on a simple belief: every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, even when mainstream education has not met their needs. We provide high-quality, relationship-centred specialist education for pupils who benefit from a more personalised, structured and nurturing learning environment to re-engage and thrive.

Our work is guided by The Apex Way, built on four core pillars:

Support • Inspire • Flourish • Succeed

Healey Learning Centre is our registered independent special school, delivering education through a network of small, specialist learning centres across Greater Manchester. These learning centres operate together as one integrated school, sharing a single leadership structure, workforce, curriculum and safeguarding framework to ensure consistent standards, continuity of care and a cohesive educational experience for every pupil.

Each learning centre provides a carefully designed environment suited to the needs of its pupils, while remaining part of the wider Healey Learning Centre community. This distributed model allows us to offer personalised support within small settings, alongside the strength, stability and professional expertise of a fully integrated school.

Across all learning centres, The Apex Way shapes everything we do, ensuring pupils feel understood, valued, and supported to achieve meaningful and lasting outcomes.
