More about Nyland School
To give a flavor of the school, please see the following extract from the recent Community News magazine which is issued to all parents.
The school motto; NYLAND: A FRESH START EVERY DAY. In fact, we believe in this message so much that all the staff now wear a green wrist band with it printed on!
At the heart of what we do at Nyland is a core belief that every Nyland child deserves to be treated with renewed belief and respect that they will be successful. It does not matter what ‘history’ there might be from the previous day, month, year or school. The expectation is that it will a good day for them. A Green Day! Moving on from actions or words that have happened before is not something that comes easily to children or adults. In fact, we could all do better at repairing and rebuilding relationships, forgiving each other and trying better next time.
Many of the children have arrived at Nyland because they find this hard to achieve and do not easily fit into the ‘conformity box’. Nyland is a ‘special school’ because it works with special children who need a special (different) approach to making a success of their life. We still have high expectations for learning and behavior but the ‘mainstream’ view of how we should manage and deal with this has not worked. So why try to repeat it?! We strive to give the children the very best learning opportunities that will help them make progress in their learning, emotional, social and behaviour needs. We do this by treating them as unique individuals who need to be given a fresh start without resentment but with care, love and the appropriate attention. Today and the rest of the year will be good for the children and staff at Nyland Campus
