“Thanks also for being so open and sharing some of your vision for the school. It so closely mirrors our own and gives food for thought as we head towards discussions with our local authority.”

Visits to Our School

We welcome visitors to the school to come and see what we do and how we support children with medical needs. Please contact the school if you would like to visit and meet our team.

Each term we host an ‘open afternoon’ where up to 10 visitors get an introduction to each part of the school, meet key staff and can participate in a small group workshop to discuss specific cases or ask more general questions. Future dates will be published soon.

“Staff quickly identify a student’s needs through a series of assessments. Staff develop programmes and lessons with each student’s needs in mind which leads to improved outcomes.”
