‘ Parents and carers have positive views of the school. One parent said, ‘ My child feels safe, comfortable, well cared for, trusted and valued. I am very pleased with the progress they are making. ’
We have a multi - disciplinary team approach which includes Teachers, Therapists, Care Staff and Specialist Support Staff and you as parents and carers. This ensures that all areas of our students ’ Education, Health and Care Plans (EHC) are met. We are praised by Ofsted for our targeted and coordinated way of working which means students develop in all areas and means we meet our objective of increasing young peoples independence.
