The Gillingham site is the schools main site and provides education for approximately 190 of the children attending the school. The Featherby site has 24 places, for our youngest children who are in Reception. At the Bligh site, which is based at Bligh Primary School, there are 36 places for children in key stage 2.
The children attending Danecourt have a wide breadth of special educational needs including, autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), speech, language and communication needs and severe learning difficulties. At Danecourt every child is recognised as unique and therefore the school offers a highly bespoke and personalised curriculum that addresses the children's needs and barriers to learning. It is our aim to create meaningful learning experiences that enables the children to participate outside of the school context, within their wider communities and transition to life after their time at Danecourt.
All children are offered the best start to their education, through a provision that is rich in opportunities and experiences delivered via a curriculum that is relevant and positively influences and promotes lifelong learning whatever their starting point. We believe that both the children and staff should have fun and enjoy coming into school everyday. This is achieved through a balance of classroom based learning and movement based and community learning to ensure things are kept exciting. We want all children to be in a position to make choices so that they are able to affect and embrace change in their own lives. By overcoming barriers, we are able to make the children feel safe and create a space for them to take risks so that they are able to flourish.
Danecourt was last inspected in June 2019, when the school was rated as ‘Good’. Following the inspection, Ofsted identified and commented that:
At Danecourt we are incredibly proud of the strong sense of community that we have. Please do not hesitate to make an appointment and meet our magnificent children and staff.
