We exist to help every student take the steps they need to take to progress along their individual pathway towards Further Education, employment and independent adult life.
We believe that every one of our students has the right to an education that provides the very best preparation for adulthood and helps them lead happy, healthy and fulfilling lives as valued members of their community. This pathway begins in Year 7.
Along the journey, students will begin to believe in themselves, become more resilient, and learn that their special educational needs and disabilities are challenges to overcome and not barriers that stand in their way.
Every student leaves Maplewell with qualifications to help them access Further Education; with employability skills to enter into the world of work, and the personal skills and qualities to fulfil his or her potential and go on to be as independent as possible.
