• Children are being equipped for their future by developing independence skills individual to their needs. The incremental approach to learning helps them to progress at their own pace as they develop trust and confidence in themselves.

The wide variety of activities the children enjoy provides them with wonderful experiences and lasting positive memories. Staff focus on ensuring that the children have fun and shared experiences that enrich their friendships. Staff create a family style environment in which difference is accepted and the children’s relationships flourish.

• The children’s voice is central to the school’s anti-bullying movement. Children who are anti-bullying ambassadors bring to life the impact that bullying can have, through the forum of regular meetings that are facilitated by staff.
