A big warm welcome to our website
Our family orientated school provides a safe space for pupils to develop a range of skills that create a strong foundation for adulthood. We foster and nurture resilience and teach the skills children need to manage their own mental health. Our highly trained specialist staff offer high levels of support and encourage pupils to be able to make a meaningful contribution to society.
We pride ourselves on being a friendly and inclusive school that values and celebrates the differences of all our children and their families. We strive to engage our pupils in learning in a fun and interactive way to ensure they all achieve the best possible outcomes. Our curriculum is broad, balanced, and ambitious in order to support the needs of our pupils.
