About

We are an approved independent special school Key Stage 2 up to Secondary and post 16. All pupils have a Special Educational Need as their primary need, as well as sensory and nurturing needs. Our whole curriculum is written to meet the aims of our pupils with SEN and we aim for each and every one of our pupils to achieve their potential.

Our students generally arrive with a history of poor attendance, placement gaps and exclusions from school and have therefore missed (often hugely significant) periods of education. Our job is a significant challenge but one that can be overcome and is successfully faced with enthusiasm and energy.

We believe that engaging with learning is the key to young people achieving success. We provide a creative, active and exciting curriculum that aims to inspire, stimulate and motivate all our young people. We aim to help every young person to acquire life and social skills to gain a more independent and positive future.
