What the school offers its staff

St Giles is an inspiring, exciting and aspirational school for children and young people aged 3-18 with a broad range of difficulties from moderate/severe to profound and multiple, which includes those with autism and associated behaviours.

Based in Retford, our school provide highly specialised and personalised education to children and young people with Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP) from across the whole of the Bassetlaw, which is the most northerly district of Nottinghamshire.

We’re also a growing school. We have been commissioned to expand our provision from September 2022, with the introduction of a brand new class. There are currently 158 pupils on roll - 62 primary aged pupils and 96 secondary and post 16 aged learners. We anticipate we will have 179 pupils in 19 classes from September 2023 – and we’re really excited!!!

Our learners are encouraged to work in a stimulating and caring environment, where they are taught that ‘no dreams are out of reach’. Our aim is to develop the full potential of individual children involving teachers, other professionals and parents in partnership.
