about us
Our Ethos
We support learners with a range of complex needs and barriers to learning, including autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), pathological demand avoidance (PDA), social, emotional and mental health needs, communication and interaction needs, and specific learning difficulties.
Our long-term priorities are to develop and improve the core knowledge and skills required to make a manageable and successful transition to work, college and adult life.
We aim to achieve high quality outcomes for our learners by:
Reducing/removing their barriers to learning
Developing their ability to communicate and interact with others in more expected ways
Developing their ability to be flexible and adapt to change
Encouraging them to positively manage their behaviours and difficulties
Focusing on well-being by supporting our pupils to understand their own feelings and emotions and provide them with a range of strategies to cope with the daily activities of life
Developing their self-esteem, independence and ability to have positive and constructive relationships with others
Providing a fun, broad, enriched and meaningful curriculum that meets each of their needs and ensures an appropriate balance between challenge and support
Keeping them safe and protecting their welfare, and through the broader curriculum developing their ability to keep themselves safe
