Nexus School

Nexus School Nexus is an ambitious special school for children and young people with profound, severe and complex needs, many of whom are on the Autistic Spectrum.

Hello and welcome to our school. Nexus is the district special school for Tonbridge and Malling and when full our Nexus main site will accommodate 250 pupils, with the satellite at Wouldham having places for a further 50 pupils. In September 2017, pupils and staff were lucky enough to move into an outstanding multimillion pound purpose built building in Tonbridge. This unique learning environment

will have a truly remarkable and positive impact upon our children’s education for generations to come. Our school building is a unique and genuine reflection of our core values. As a school community we considered what sets us apart. ‘Inspiring’, ‘understanding’, ‘brave’, ‘enthusiastic’, ‘vibrant’, and ‘committed’ are just some of the words that define and guide our daily interaction with the children. At Nexus we have high expectations for all of our pupils, striving to ensure that they all achieve their maximum potential; celebrating difference and encouraging curiosity and creativity. Our committed staff team work hard to ensure that their individual needs, interests and abilities are met and that they become resilient individuals able to make positive life choices. Learning, enjoyment and engagement are now supported by remarkable facilities, which includes bespoke teaching environments, a dance and drama room, sports hall, play areas, a rebound therapy room and an exceptionally well equipped therapeutic area. It’s a game changing development in the provision of SEN education in Kent. Thank you for visiting our website I hope you enjoy your virtual tour around Nexus. We create a happy learning environment where “Excellence meets opportunity” and this encapsulates the type of learning we promote within our community. I hope that the website captures the spirit of Nexus and provides you with useful information but I would urge you to come and visit us to experience for yourself the quality of education given to all of our children and the unique atmosphere of our school.

This term, we proudly celebrated our Class of 2026 with their leavers' assemblies. It was a wonderful opportunity for staff to reflect on the memories, achievements and milestones shared during each student's time at Nexus. We are incredibly proud of everything they have accomplished and the young people they have become. We wish each and every one of them success and happiness as they begin their next chapter. Good luck, Class of 2026 – you'll always be part of the Nexus family! 💙🌟

Our Sports Week last week was carefully designed to provide inclusive, engaging and accessible experiences that supported the needs of all our learners.

It was wonderful to see our students embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and confidence, building communication skills and resilience along the way. Most importantly, the week was filled with smiles and achievements, as every student was encouraged to take part, have fun and celebrate their own accomplishments.

As part of their work towards gold duke of Edinburgh. These students participated in 5 days of sailing starting Poole Harbour. Everyone on board had a wonderful time, with particular highlights of the trip include watching England vs Ghana on the deck of the boat, going to the beach in Cowes (Isle of Wight) and having a BBQ or celebrating a students birthday one evening on the deck of the boat. 🚤

All students worked incredibly hard to manage the challenges on the way from feeling sea sick to cooking all meals and even helping to sail the boat. The students completed 75 miles of sailing while they were away and all gained the Start Yachting qualification. Some students will soon be able to use this to soon complete their Gold Duke of Edinburgh. Well Done everyone, the staff and crew of the boat were very impressed with the students hard work and resilience. ✨✨
