We will admit a further 16 in September 24, and a further 8 in September 25 to complete the 40 place provision.
We tailor a personalised Educational Programme for every pupil to ensure that they reach their full potential as well as providing a bespoke sequential curriculum steeped in SEND pedagogy. The school has a long history of being outstanding and in March 2023 secured Outstanding again under the new Ofsted Framework.
