Welcome to St Lawrence School in Horncastle.

At St Lawrence we meet our students at their point of need creating a flexible and personalised curriculum based around 3 distinct pathways ensuring regular opportunities for social interaction opportunities with their peer group.

The school positively supports students aged 5 to 16 with a wide range of additional needs. All of our children and young people have an Education Health Care Plan in place.

We focus on positive relationships between all students and staff to support successful learning.

We use a restorative approach to empower the students as much as possible to understand, regulate with support and ultimately to self-regulate their behaviour in a positive way.

We use a variety of different interventions to support our students in all areas of need.

We have whole school communication approach with adults modelling Makaton signing, verbal communication, use of symbols, written and pictorial communication as well as alternative means such as PECS, PODD and iPad.

All students are supported to access visual timetables and schedules as needed to support them to understand expectations and to reduce anxiety.

Throughout the school we support growing independence in our young people working towards our aspirations for them as they move towards adulthood. This includes opportunities to take part in travel training, work experience and life skills.
