About Romans Field School

Romans Field School is a small school with a big heart. We are a maintained Special Needs School situated in West Bletchley, Milton Keynes. Our  Primary Provision (5 to 11) caters for up to 66 children with a range of identified needs which include Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Communication and Interaction difficulties, Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties, Complex Needs, ADHD, and PDA. Our Secondary Provision (11 to 16) caters for up to 24 children with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). All the children who attend Romans Field School have an EHCP.

Romans Field School is part of the Inclusive Learning Federation, which is unique within the Milton Keynes area, made up of Romans Field School, a special school, and two mainstream primary schools, Bradwell Village, a junior school for 7 to 11-year-olds and Priory Common, an infant school for 4 – 7-year-olds. This partnership allows us to collaborate effectively using shared expertise, resources, and experiences to ensure that all our children, regardless of their needs, can access the opportunities and support they require to thrive. The Federation also provides extensive CPD opportunities for staff. Romans Field School provides Behaviour Outreach Service to the other schools in the Federation.

Staff at Romans Field School are confident and skilled in building positive relationships that help to break down barriers, nurture self-esteem and challenge disaffection. Teachers and support staff work tirelessly to meet the needs of individual pupils and support their learning and emotional needs through a range of strategies including, Emotion Coaching.

At Romans Field School, we aim to support children and families to develop an understanding of the importance of a holistic approach; balanced by our strong curriculum and our therapeutic opportunities within a safe, caring and supportive environment. We are committed to meeting the individual academic, personal, social and emotional needs of our children. We achieve this by working in partnership with parents, carers and external agencies to provide a wealth of experience and opportunities which encourage every child to achieve their full potential. Our aims also include enabling our children to be confident, responsible, independent and well-educated individuals who are able to fulfil positive role models in society and to have a successful future. We have high aspirations for our children, with many transferring to mainstream education.

Everyone at Romans Field School makes every effort to provide each child with the necessary care and support to feel safe, be happy and achieve success.

We aim to provide exciting and challenging learning experiences to encourage children to learn, to want to learn and to be independent learners – children who can think for themselves, express themselves appropriately and function in a wide variety of environments. To do this, we have created a positive ethos that focuses on raising self-esteem through reward and recognition on the basis of ‘the more successful you feel, the more successful you will be’.
