We are a school for children aged between 3 and 11 years with learning difficulties and additional complex needs such as autism, physical or sensory impairments.

We are very proud of our school and believe in providing the highest quality of education to all our children regardless of needs or ability.

Our mission statement is “Together, we Make a Difference …” and we achieve this by creating a personalised curriculum and unique learning journey for every child.

We work within a multi- professional team including speech therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, professional musicians, artists and sports leaders to create exciting learning environments that encourage each child to reach their full potential.

We have close links within the local community which enhances the quality of our provision.

We are fortunate to enjoy fantastic facilities including a hydrotherapy pool, soft-play room, sensory room, and fabulous outdoor learning spaces.

We understand that education is a partnership between school and home with the child being at the centre. We strive to build good relationships with all our parents and carers and encourage participation wherever possible.
