Welcome from the Head Teacher

We are a school that provides a highly specialised educational package that encompasses a broad and varied academic and social curriculum. This curriculum will open the door for pupils to new opportunities and experiences.

A skilled and diverse staff team will listen to and support pupils as they overcome any barriers they have to learning and provide a range of therapeutic support. We aim to develop the pupil as a whole, broadening their knowledge, celebrating diversity and developing an understanding of the wider world.

We would be delighted to welcome you to the school to see for yourself our very special and inspirational environment and for you to meet our equally inspiring pupils.
