The Green Room is a small Independent School providing an alternative for young people who can no longer access mainstream education for a number of reasons - school refusers and pupils at risk of being excluded - children who are overwhelmed with mainstream schools and who need a different approach to their education. More often than not, these children are subjected to abuse, either at home or at school - both environments where they should feel safe but don’t. The abuse these children endure can be so intense, varying from mental to physical to emotional, they start acting out beyond acceptable or appropriate behaviour, or withdraw so far that they become the subject of constant bullying. These are not children who just simply refuse to make an effort in school, they are children who have been systematically prevented from doing so through no fault of their own.
