Ethos & Values

Improve the life chances of pupils by providing the best possible educational opportunities for our learners, allowing them to work towards independence and to achieve well over time. To continually strive to improve standards in every aspect of Trust provision. By providing consistently high quality educational experiences across all phases of their education, we aim to raise aspirations for children and young people, enabling them to be confident and successful in their next step in education or training and in their preparation for adulthood.

Curriculum Highlights

A challenging, broad and relevant curriculum which is based on the National Curriculum. Work is differentiated to meet each pupil's needs and learning is enriched through a wide range of visits within the local area as well as further afield. IEPs are written by the class teacher / form tutor, with input from other teachers and are monitored by the Senior Leadership Team. Pupils have access to additional support through a team of trained teachers and teaching assistants, with in-class delivery preferred where possible. As pupils approach Key Stage 4, personalised options for qualifications and accreditations are made available that suit the needs and interests of learners.
