About Tuke School

Tuke school is a welcoming and inspirational place to learn and work. We have been judged ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted at our last four inspection cycles. Our purpose built school has been open for 9 years and continues to be an exciting place for students and staff. Tuke school is all on one level and gives great access to the outdoor spaces. Our school has many sensory aspects to the design to enable students to engage with their learning at every opportunity. It is an essential part of our ethos that the curriculum and every part of the building is easily accessible to all. We aspire to be a centre of educational excellence for students with severe and complex learning needs, an exceptional place to work and learn for students and staff, a school that encourages creativity, challenge and self motivation and a place where learning will be enhanced and enabled through an inclusive approach.
At the heart of our curriculum is our mission statement: “Learning Everywhere, Inspiring Everyone’.
Our school provides state of the art specialist facilities for students with Severe, Profound and Complex Learning needs. Our facilities include a hydro therapy suite , art and design areas, food technology rooms, a space dedicated to physical exploration, music studio, a sensory trail and interactive lighting and touch screen ICT. We provide training to enable staff to use all of the school facilities.
At Tuke, we have developed our own curriculum framework which brings together Education Health and Care plan outcomes, curriculum schemes of work, learning intentions and a systematic way of monitoring student personal progress. Our students are unique in the way that they learn; they may experience difficulties with generalisation, memory retention, communication, problem solving, managing change, transitions and processing skills. It is our aim to minimise barriers by creating learning opportunities that are purposeful and meaningful to each individual. We have small class groups between 6-8 students. Each class will have 4 support assistants in each class who are directly managed by the class teacher. Our therapy staff work alongside educational staff to ensure that specific learning programmes are integrated.
