Curriculum
Providing a well rounded curriculum for our pupils is key to their success. Our school seeks to re-establish the concept of learning as a positive experience. For each of our pupils, that journey may look a little different and take varied times to access.
We take a truly therapeutic approach, during our initial assessments; we introduce a number of therapeutic possibilities. Each child's individual needs are identified and a Child Action Plan is established along side their Personal Education Plan.
We aim to provide a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum. Each child works inline with the National Curriculum and their abilities. There is an emphasis on basic literacy and numeracy skills embedded throughout our curriculum.

Additional opportunities for gifted and talented
In addition, our pupils have the opportunity to access an outdoor education programme and each child has an care plan which can include group work, 1-2-1 intervention through mediums such as Art therapy, Play therapy, Speech and Language therapy.
We have a mindset coach who comes to help build our pupils confidence and work on the challenges they may face in their lives.
We believe that the best chance in education that our pupils have is to help them understand their behaviours and the challenges they are facing and help them create viable solutions and strategies that will enable them to reengage with educational life.
