Welcome from the Head Teacher
Our small, calm, nurturing environment provides pupils with the opportunities to thrive educationally, socially and behaviourally. We pride ourselves on offering our pupils a family orientated environment, safe in the knowledge that in order for pupils to make progress academically they need to feel comfortable in their surroundings.
Our highly trained specialist staff offer high levels of support and encourage pupils to become independent and productive members of society.
Our curriculum is individualised to each pupil. In addition to the provision of the full national curriculum, which includes intervention programmes where appropriate, we also offer our ‘Children’s Choice’ curriculum, which provides pupils with opportunities to develop skills and talents in areas such as golf, fishing, gardening, tennis, arts and crafts, rugby, horse riding, fitness, survival skills, dance, yoga and textiles.
We would be delighted to welcome you to the school to see for yourself our very special environment and the excellent work of our pupils.
