We are strong in our belief that all children and young people deserve only the very best.  Our bespoke curriculum is delivered by a highly skilled and dedicated staff team.  Enjoyment and motivation for learning is firmly situated at the heart of what we do, focusing on developing skills in confidence, character, individuality, independence, resilience and tolerance.

Our aims are;

•  To provide outstanding educational opportunities through a personalised curriculum- cognition & learning, communication & interaction, mental health and wellbeing and physical & sensory needs
•  To prepare our children and young people for the next stage of education and transition into adulthood
• To ensure that no pupil/young person leaves without a means to communicate
• To promote skills of independence for a happy and fulfilled future
