We have worked hard to continue to be at the forefront of successful, innovative curriculum design, with overall breadth and balance, which provides our children and young with their full entitlement. As a result, our students benefit from excellent opportunities in all aspects of our curriculum to achieve and improve their academic achievement, social skills, communication skills, knowledge, understanding, well-being and physical development.
Due to the complex nature of our students, high levels of emotional and physical resilience are needed in dealing with challenging behaviour. However, the knowledge that our work is making a positive impact in helping the young people to grow and work towards independence brings great reward.

- A nurturing and empathetic approach to behaviour management
- The physical and emotional resilience to support students with complex needs, taking a non-judgemental approach
- The ability to support teaching and learning within a special need setting to a dedicated group of students
- The ability to support the class teacher to monitor student progress, ensuring their improved engagement with the school and their learning
- The ability to record student progress and provide regular feedback to stakeholders
- The ability to model and encourage appropriate social behaviour in and out of school and to cater for the general welfare of students
- The ability to work in partnership with classroom teachers to differentiate appropriate interventions for students in relation to the curriculum
