Beaconsfield Primary School is a vibrant, over-subscribed and welcoming school with ‘outstanding pupil behaviour’ where all pupils are nurtured to believe in themselves and others and to persevere through challenges in order to succeed. We see all pupils as individuals and that everyone’s learning journey is different and we therefore ensure that we cater for the needs of all within an environment that is supportive for both pupils and staff. Our ARP classes are housed in a modern, purpose-built facility with sensory and soft playrooms in addition to the large, low-arousal classrooms and separate outdoor play spaces. We have our own on-site speech & language therapist, counsellor & occupational therapist and a well-trained, highly committed team of specialist support staff. We believe that small steps of progress should be celebrated and acknowledged from each child’s starting point.
