What the school offers its staff

This is an exciting time to join Oscott Manor. We are at the beginning of an improvement journey to provide a high quality education for all pupils who attend here. Our school is a fast paced and energetic environment, where all staff are committed to working together, with families, to improve the life chances of the pupils in our care.

At Oscott Manor School, the experience of the child or young person is paramount and we expect all actions and decisions to reflect this. We are proud to be a Gold UNICEF Rights Respecting School.

All our pupils have an education, health and care plan and may have persistent difficulties with social interaction, social communication or understanding emotions. Such differences can significantly impact their access to the curriculum. Our rich curriculum intends to develop knowledge and skills and prepare pupils for adulthood, teaching them to be ready, respectful and safe and develop independence.
