Esland Grantham School

Esland Education Grantham School provides a range of education packages for young people aged 8 to 18 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities; including complex social and emotional needs such as ASC, ODD and PDA. We strive for excellence in all aspects of our curriculum and delivery, whether that be our bespoke one-to-one packages, alternative vocational programmes or more formal, school-based education in one of our DFE-registered independent, specialist day schools.

Our teams provide a respectful and nurturing environment, giving all young people the best platform to reach their potential. We hope to be a beacon of good practice, producing successful, measurable outcomes in all aspects of our work with young people. We aim to facilitate excellent communication with parents, guardians, and carers, Placing Authorities and the professionals involved with supporting our pupils in order to collectively secure their achievements.

Our education packages have been created to help young people stabilise their behaviour and begin to make positive choices. Oracle adopts an integrated approach to learning where all involved in the therapeutic care and education of our young people actively promote skills, knowledge and learning in a caring environment where safeguarding is at the forefront. Our learning environments are designed to meet a variety of needs to help overcome learning barriers. We follow a full-time learning programme catering to all abilities but also deliver part-time transition packages where required to meet the needs of pupils and help them re-engage successfully in education. We offer a variety of core and foundation subjects which include English, Maths, Science, Media, Citizenship, Drama, ICT, Food & Nutrition, Art, PE, SMSC and Duke of Edinburgh.

All students are supported according to their specific needs. Teaching takes place both through group work and on an individual basis. Educational topics are designed to provide a range of experiences that will enthuse, motivate and challenge. We aim to broaden each young person’s outlook on life and develop their understanding of life within British society today. Many pupils will come out of class for one-to-one intensive therapy programmes but where we can deliver these interventions in the classroom setting we seek to do so.
