Queensway School

Queensway was established as an academy in March 2018 when it became part of the Learning Community Trust.. It was the result of a merger of an autistic provision which had been linked to HLC Secondary and a SEMH school that required a sponsor and a new start.

Queensway is across two sites – the North site in Hadley is a school for children with a diagnosis of Autism. The school has a PAN of 60 but due to demand for places always has additional students. It is a modern purpose, self-contained building on a lovely site with sensory and quiet rooms as well as a Sports Hall and good outdoor spaces. Queensway North has achieved Autism Accreditation from the National Autistic Society and our skills and strategies are worthy of their award. The school itself then ‘leads’ on Autism training both with the Local Authority and some external organisations.

The South site, in Dawley, has quiet rooms, teaching spaces and an excellent purpose-built skills centre for practical work which is where our new provision for motor vehicle is to be placed. Queensway South takes about 12 Y5 and Y6 children into our primary provision, the PAN is 54 and the other students are in Y7-11.

Both sites offer an extensive curriculum which includes English, Mathematics, Science, Design Technology, Art and Physical Education, Creative iMedia and Forest Schools and we are currently developing our offer to soon include Motor Vehicle, Hair and Beauty, Duke of Edinburgh and Photography. Social skills/education permeates through the curriculum on both sites preparing our students for life as young adults.

All students are encouraged to take a range of examinations which best meet their needs from the differentiated curriculum which is individually designed by the experienced staff team. The outcomes have improved year on year and in 2022 over 90% of students gained five or more GCSEs at Grade 1-9 including English and Maths which was a significant achievement.

Both sites have their individual teaching teams, support staff and highly experienced Pastoral leads who also lead on safeguarding. We are fully staffed but are exploring different staffing models to support the children, the new Headteacher appointed in September 2020 will lead on this.

Queensway prides itself on its close working relationships with parents and good communications between home and school happen on a daily basis.

You will join a Trust steeped in a culture of wanting the very best for our children and is very ambitious for its schools. As a school, you will be joining a community that will do anything to make their children’s lives successful whilst preparing them for the next steps in their lives.
