Staff and Governors have high aspirations for our children and we aim to provide a high quality, relevant and balanced education that is accessible for all as learning can look different for everyone. At our school the curriculum is aided by therapeutic interventions and the environment the school and staff create. We work really hard as a whole school community to create an environment that ensures our pupils progress towards a happy and fulfilled life.
