Welcome to Fountains High School and thank you for showing interest in our Academy.
There is something very special about Fountains High School and we are incredibly proud of our unique students, supportive parents, inspirational staff and forward-thinking governors, where we all work together to make our environment a safe, happy and fun place to learn and prepare for adulthood.
Fountains High School (FHS) is a generic special school within the Esteem Multi Academy Trust situated in Stretton, Burton Upon Trent. Staffordshire County Council (SCC) currently commission 190 places for pupils aged 11-19, with Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans. Pupil numbers have grown substantially, from 126 places in 2011-12, due to high demand for places. Fountains High School is presently oversubscribed with over 200 pupils on roll including 55 post-16 students based at Burton and South Derbyshire College (BSDC) campus.
Approximately one third of our students have a primary need of Autistic Spectrum Disorder, a further third with moderate learning difficulties and a quarter with severe learning difficulties. The remaining students have profound and multiple disabilities, and in addition to their learning difficulties, some have speech, language and communication needs, physical disabilities and visual impairments.
All of our students have unique needs, personalities and potentials and so it is only right that we provide our students with a personalised curriculum that allows them all the possibilities of progressing and success.
Most students follow either ‘ACCESS to the World’ Curriculum or ‘SHINE in the World’ Curriculum that prepares them for the next stage of their life. These curricula form the basis of a student’s timetable and allow all students to always achieve their potential.
We are proud to provide an environment that enables all students to have the knowledge, skills and aptitude that provide the capacity to make informed choices, create opportunities and be responsive to changes. We ensure students develop and increase their self-belief, self-awareness and the ability to build strong lasting relationships. We provide students with the appropriate amount of challenge to support them to be able to interpret, interact and be included in the world. They are always encouraged to seek out opportunities for kindness and happiness for others and themselves. Our students become resilient in the face of adversity, willing to accept the challenge and persist in all endeavours they encounter, fostering, exhibiting and conveying GRIT.
