A message from the Headteacher:
Dear Parents/Carers and Prospective Pupils,
It is my pleasure on behalf of the staff team to welcome you to our school. We hope our site will provide you with all the information you need about our school and more importantly, that through its pages you will get a feel of our school and provision.
Our school is a small specialist school with provision for up to 10 pupils, all being placed from within the organisation’s children’s homes.
We continually aim to be a centre of excellence that provides every pupil with the opportunity to access a well-rounded, holistic, broad and balanced curriculum.
Our vision is to provide a safe and nurturing environment within which our pupils can flourish and achieve at the highest possible levels academically, socially, morally and emotionally. We celebrate the successes and victories of our pupils, instilling pride in themselves, their school and their community.
We look forward to working with you and sharing our triumphs, challenges and the progress of our pupils.
Julie Archer
Head Teacher
