At our special school, each student receives 1:1 or small group support within the classroom, ensuring their unique learning needs and challenges are addressed with personalised strategies.
We create individualised learning plans for each student, tailored to their specific strengths, needs, and goals. By focusing on each child's unique learning style, we provide the support they need to thrive.
Through fun and meaningful activities, we keep students motivated and excited about their education. Our specialised programs incorporate tools such as adaptive technology, communication devices for non-verbal students, sensory supports and specialised furniture. These resources make learning both engaging and enjoyable for every student.
We take great pride in our commitment to ensuring students engage with and truly understand the significance of celebrating British Values. Our curriculum is designed to reflect the diverse elements of the SMSC framework, allowing students to explore key themes that shape their growth as informed, respectful, and active citizens.
