Choosing the right school for a child will be a life changing decision

Ensuring it is a good decision is critical. We know that parents and carers want a high standard of education for their child to make good progress, in an environment where they can be happy and safe.

Curriculum

We believe that everyone has a personal best and that we play a vital role in making this a reality. All pupils will be given opportunities and support to reach their potential, achieve well and succeed in life beyond school.

Our curriculum is pupil-centred, ambitious, relevant and engaging. We have high aspirations and expectations of all pupils. They should leave our school with a range of experiences, skills and qualifications which will act as currency, providing them with a solid foundation for success in life.

We aim to:

  • deliver a broad, balanced, and ambitious curriculum, based on the National Curriculum, differentiated as is appropriate to individual pupil’s needs and interests.

  • provide a framework for teaching and learning, within which there is flexibility and scope for this adaptation and creativity to take place.

  • ensure high quality teaching and learning experiences for all pupils.

  • support pupils’ needs and requirements so they can access, enjoy and succeed in school.

  • provide the experiences and skills pupils need to be well prepared for their next stage of life; for further education, employment and to play active and fulfilling roles in society.

Staff Team

Our staff team is highly experienced, suitably qualified and trained. Ultimately, they recognise and embrace the challenges associated with supporting pupils who have experienced disrupted education, have gaps in learning and whose needs were not met previously. We know that good quality, relevant education is key to improving pupil progress, personal development, well-being, and overall life chances.

New Pupils

Our pupils are well supported to settle in quickly at our friendly, caring school. We know they will soon form a more positive view of education, able to see “what’s in it for them”. For many, it will be the first time they can actually consider having high aspirations (dream).

They will be supported with their personal, social, and emotional development to begin to believe in themselves and what is possible. Above all, staff will support pupils to achieve their goals and be well set up for a successful life beyond school.

Our Buildings

We have fantastic buildings, location and provision on and off-site, and our best resource is the staff team. Every staff member has great experience, expertise and above all shares a commitment to support pupils by providing the highest standards of education, encouragement, and care, refusing to settle for less than the best.
