As a school we joined the Sherborne Area Schools Trust (SAST) in November 2019 and officially became Harbour Vale School. It is fantastic being part of a trust who puts children at the centre of everything they do. Having a sense of belonging and working together with so many experienced colleagues, with great CPD opportunities, collaborative working, learning and support mechanisms centrally.

In recent years, Harbour Vale School had a huge makeover. We commissioned a new build that included a new reception and classroom, as well as internal renovation work, leaving us with a school that is welcoming, friendly and fit for purpose.

We have robust processes of student induction that includes baseline and diagnostic testing upon entry, which allows staff to plan personalised learning from the moment the students arrive with us and supports positive re-integrations.

Our school values and ethos is centred on students to believe in themselves, feel proud of their achievements and successes, and we aim to support learners becoming more respectful, responsible and resilient learners.

Harbour Vale School has intervention programmes and personalised timetables for each student and we work collaboratively to promote positive outcomes and celebrate every small win.
