Description
Frederick Hugh House is Independent Secondary school in Selective for kids aged 5 to 16 (Gender - 5 to 16 )
From a theatre company, staging plays and creative projects in schools across the capital, to sector-leading, Alternative School: our journey since they began in 1999 has been eventful.The founder Phil Richards and his partner Neil Powney (pictured above) first formed The Complete Works as a Theatre in Education company, performing plays and workshops in schools throughout London. At the time, Phil led a small team of actors and creatives who were passionate about engaging young people in the performing arts. What became clear in these early years, was the power of creativity to inspire young people, who were otherwise disillusioned by education.

Curriculum
The curriculum that they offer has been refined over many years to be as engaging, diverse and inclusive as possible, helping students from a variety of educational backgrounds to reach their potential, leaving us well prepared for the challenges of future education and work. The programme of study for each student is determined after analysing their education history, and documentation such as an EHCP, or Educational Psychologist reports, and crucially also after meeting the student themselves, getting to know them and exploring their ambitions and interests. Using all this important information, our curriculum team devises a personalised programme of study from our broad library of subjects and qualifications.

Things to note
Careers and SEND provision
Every student with SEND follows the same programme of careers as their peers, with adaptation and support from the SEND team where appropriate. Students with EHCPs also have the opportunity to discuss their Post 16 options within their Annual Reviews. The school and Local Authority work with students to support them in finding appropriate placements and to make the transition successful.
Creativity
Creativity has always been a core value of our school, and something they integrate into every aspect of our work. No matter the subject being taught, we encourage our teachers to think outside the box, finding unique and dynamic ways to bring lessons to life. Our Central Office Team works to develop creativity within the curriculum, devising a rich array of educational resources, providing expert advice and mentoring to teachers. A number of creative projects are open to students at any time, some of the key fixtures include our Anthology of Creative Writing, published every year; the TCW Album - a compilation of musical tracks produced by students with the help of our Poet in Residence; and the Annual Showcase - an eclectic evening of student performances enjoyed by our whole school community.
