Our PE Department is run by qualified PE staff who have additional understanding of Special Educational Needs. We enter many local and national competitions in a wide range of sports that all our young people can get involved in, and we often win!

Living Skills & Independent Living

Our curriculum allows a wide range of experiences and we are excited that we will for the academic year 2017/18 have a flat for our young people to really explore independent living skills.

Not only do we explore healthy lifestyles and skills within cooking environments our young people have access to outdoor spaces where they can experience horticulture. The delivery of independent living skills for Preparation for Adult Life is one of our core principles to prepare our young people for their next stages
in education, training and employment.

Emotional Health & Well Being

The Hut is a space for students who have emotional needs. Students access it to help learn skills to keep on top of daily life, including via access to the hut’s sensory spaces. This fabulous part of school was designed alongside young people, their parents and design experts!

Along with these opportunities there are many trips out of school, weekly horseriding sessions, lunch time clubs, after school clubs. The enriched curriculum is a real strength of the school and all our young people play an active part, extending their interests and aptitudes.
