Kingfisher School is a Special Educational Needs school which is located in Weymouth. We support learners aged 6-16 years old, with a wide range of Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs, and Autism.
Our school delivers a range of subjects, including the core subjects of English, maths and science, together with additional curriculum areas such as art, cooking, and creative and healthy curriculum. We offer a structured environment centred on a meaningful and contextualised curriculum offer.
Our clear purpose is to make an enduring difference to our learners' lives, providing them with the knowledge, resilience and skills to enable them to have lasting employment and lifelong success. We aim to make them 'life ready'.
At our school, we believe in the value and importance of building positive trusting relationships with young people to gain a deep understanding of each learner's needs. This enables us to provide individually tailored provision which facilitates and supports each child's unique way of learning.
