The school, which will soon receive its first students, is designed to improve the life chances of young people aged between 12 and 18 who are in custody.

Sodexo schools managing director Steve Hawkins said: “We are incredibly proud to extend our partnership with Oasis to serve the students at Oasis Restore.
“This is a unique opportunity to create a positive impact on the lives of young people in need of support.
