Cherry Tree Learning Centre is committed to working in partnership with schools, educational settings, parents and other professionals in order to ensure the educational/emotional needs of this vulnerable group of children and young people are appropriately met. The Centre recognises that the best place for any pupil to be educated is in their mainstream or special school and we provide reintegration support, if required, when the child/young person is ready to return to their mainstream school.

Cherry Tree Learning Centre is one of two Short Stay Schools in Dudley. The Centre supports children and young people living in Dudley who are unable to access their mainstream/special school due to ill health.

Cherry Tree Learning Centre is fully equipped with facilities to enable teaching of a variety of subjects, including Science, cooking and activities. We have relaxing outdoor spaces with outdoor gym equipment for those who are able.

All students attending Cherry tree will continue with their Careers, Information, Advice and Guidance programme. Those in year 11 will follow a comprehensive programme, including visits to colleges and workplaces, and receive advice and guidance on their next stage of education, supported by our Connexions worker.

All schools in The Skylark Partnership Multi Academy Trust are valued for their distinct offer and individuality to meet the needs of pupils with medical need in their communities.
