About the School

It is an exciting time to join. Under the leadership of the forward-thinking head teacher, the school and its team have recently redesigned and created a purposeful and unique ‘Curriculum’ that fully meets the holistic needs of their students. They are now in the stage of fully embedding this across the school.

They are an independent SEN school that offers a unique and stimulating environment where every pupil is able to make outstanding progress in their personal development and enjoy success in their education. Their students present with a wide range of needs, including social and emotional issues, learning difficulties, mental health problems and associated conditions. However, they are able to enjoy extraordinary outcomes and be happy at school. All classes have excellent ratios of at least 2:1 student to adults. Typically, classes have between 6-8 students.

As an independent SEN school, they are far removed from the bureaucracy found in so many other schools and they are able to abandon ineffective and traditional methods in favour of new, highly effective and tailored initiatives – essentially, they do what they know is right for the students in their care.
