Chair of Trustees
Voluntary Position
Haybrook College Trust is an Alternative Provision Academy based in Slough, Berkshire, dedicated to inspiring and supporting young people to make positive choices about their future. The College provides high-quality, personalised education for students who face barriers to learning and are unable to thrive in mainstream settings.
The Trust encompasses a range of specialist provisions, including Millside School (a special school), KS3 and KS4 Alternative Provision, Reintegration Prorammes and several innovative Key Stage 4 programmes such as Kitchen Craft (hospitality and catering), Pitstop (construction and motor vehicle), and other vocational and academic pathways. These are designed to help students achieve both academically and socially, with a strong emphasis on practical, hands-on learning.
Haybrook College is committed to ensuring that all students leave with recognised qualifications in English and maths, and are well-prepared for further education, employment, or training. The curriculum is tailored to meet individual needs and is underpinned by Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG), promoting independence, leadership, and lifelong learning.
The College’s vision is rooted in the belief that every young person deserves access to a broad and balanced curriculum, and the opportunity to succeed regardless of their background or challenges.
