About Special Partnership Trust

Welcome to the Special Partnership Trust
We're a specialist educational trust on a journey to raise the bar and set new standards for Special Educational Needs (SEN) throughout the South West.

We are not afraid to do things differently, and we never settle for the ordinary. We aspire to be the best in everything that we do. We provide our young people with the highest quality education, give them access to the best opportunities available to them, and take pride in giving them a sense of self-worth and purpose - built on a foundation of resilience and independence.

Through collaboration, co-operation, and creativity – underpinned by an ethos built on inclusivity, empowerment, and transparency – we aim to inspire every single young person (as well as their families and our staff) to be the very best versions of themselves they possibly can. We do this through an ambitious, specialist curriculum that goes beyond school life and focusses on living as well as learning. We step outside the comfort zone when it’s needed, we care more than people think is needed or necessary, and we genuinely want to improve the lives and experiences of our learners.

We dare to be different, we have courage in our convictions, and we strive every single day to draw the best out of everything and everyone in our community.
Our Core Values
  • Ambitious: We set new standards and consistently raise them through the quality of our work and approach.
  • Aspirational: We dream big – and we’re brave enough to act on those aspirations.
  • Invested: We care deeply. It’s not just something we say – it’s something we live, every day.
  • Purposeful: Everything we do is intentional, driven by our mission and aligned with our vision.
  • Genuine: Honesty, transparency, and authenticity are the foundation of all our relationships and decisions.
  • Energetic: We bring passion and momentum to SEN – we’re go-getters, innovators, and never bound by convention.
  • Inclusive: Every voice matters. Everyone is heard. Everyone belongs.
  • Specialist: Our expertise gives us unique insight into the needs of our learners and their families — and we use it to make a difference.
