A letter from the Head

I am delighted to welcome you to our new joyful special school community where every young person is cherished and their unique abilities are celebrated.

Housed in a state of the art bespoke building our dedicated team is committed to providing a nurturing environment for children with severe or profound multiple learning difficulties. An environment which responds to individual need and enables regulation, communication and learning behaviours to flourish. Where the EHCP is the driving force of entitlement for each person's quality provision.

Our approach is holistic and clearly defines pathways to building the skills and knowledge for meaningful development. It is centred around a curriculum which is broad, appropriately paced and flexible at point of delivery to ensure individualised provision.

Even though our focus is rooted in providing challenge and rigour for our young people, it extends beyond academic studies, as we are passionately dedicated to imparting life skills that will empower our students to become happy, valued and participating members of their communities in adulthood.

Together we embark on a journey of discovery, growth and enrichment ensuring each child and young adult reaches their full potential in a supportive and inclusive community

I look forward to meeting you.
