Ruskin Mill College values inclusive learning and living activities that integrate practical activity, thinking and our emotions. They also value mutual respect and we strive to understand all people's differences and uniqueness, the capacity for re-imagination present in all people, towards positive change and development, and openness, goodwill, tolerance and treating individuals with dignity and respect.

The school’s vision is that each individual has the potential to shape their own future through experiencing meaningful relationships with universe, earth and people. Hundreds of students have benefitted from the Trust’s innovative Practical Skills Therapeutic Education (PSTE) method. PSTE enables each curriculum to offer an exciting and wide range of course subjects that gives students the opportunity to overcome barriers to learning, become skilled through doing real-life purposeful activities and engage as valued members of their community.

“Students play an increasingly important role in promoting an understanding of equality and diversity. Student council members played a key role during autism awareness week. They have organised world food days and checked displays and resources around the college.”
