Dacorum Education Support Centre

We are delighted to welcome you to Dacorum Education Support Centre (DESC). As Co-Headteachers, we are proud to lead a community built on the values of Respect, Aspiration, and Resilience. These values guide everything we do as we help young people succeed and live by our mantra: “Be the best you can be.” 

At DESC, we believe education is the passport to a safe, stable, and successful future. Our goal is to provide every learner with the tools, confidence, and support they need to create positive futures. We take a solution-focused approach, working together to overcome challenges and celebrate achievements. 

Relationships are at the heart of our work. We pride ourselves on building positive, respectful and trusting connections with our learners and families. Every young person is unique, and we celebrate individuality and strengths, helping each learner to grow in their own way. 

Our provision is holistic, supporting not just academic progress, but personal development and wellbeing. We want every learner to feel valued, understood, and inspired to aim high. 

Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you find the information helpful and get a sense of the warmth and commitment that make DESC special. If you have any questions or would like to know more, please do get in touch.
