At Mackenzie Thorpe Centre, we are committed to helping our pupils fulfil their potential by preparing them for the next stage in their education, employment and lives. Throughout the year our pupils participate in a wide variety of activities - both on-site and out in the community - that are designed to help pupils develop skills, knowledge, and independence, and to empower self-confidence and resilience.
