Prospect School provides day education for boys with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Students needs are met in a small, nurturing environment with a highly differentiated curriculum. We offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities designed to enhance the wider learning opportunities for our students for the time they spend with us.
Prospect School is a Local Authority Maintained secondary special school for boys aged 11-16. All our students have Education and Health Care Plans (EHCP) for social, emotional and mental health issues. Some students have additional needs which impact their learning, such as, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC) and Dyslexia.
Prospect School is a place where everyone is treated with respect and is of equal worth. Our vision is encapsulated in our motto 'Raising aspirations, building futures' and is underpinned by our core values of Respect, Believe and Achieve.
