Vision & Ethos
At the heart of the school’s mission, “Learning together, learning for all, learning for life,” is the belief that all pupils, whatever their background or ability, will be successful and valued.
Our vision and ethos are reflected through the curriculum and provide:
- a high quality alternative to mainstream provision in which children with Social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties across the primaryage range thrive
- aspirational outcomes for all our pupils
- a broad and balanced curriculum aimed at creating an educational experience that is focused upon young people. The curriculum offer conforms to national government expectations, catering for a broad range of abilities and learning styles
- a physical environment and teaching approaches that have been created in response to sensitivity to the particular needs of children with SEMH difficulties
- a wide range of opportunities to access external agencies such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech and language therapy to support individual needs
- an inclusive environment in which pupils feel safe, confident, are happy and make good progress academically, socially and in the development of their independence skills
- strong partnerships with the families of pupils and collaboration with a range of other agencies, creating a caring and friendly learning environment in which pupils make good progress
- a school which is socially viable, enabling pupils to make friendship choices from within their own peer groups
- support services to the families of our pupils
- a positive choice for parents and carers
