Vale School is a community special school in Haringey, North London offering a high quality, child-centred, inclusive and specialist education for 108 pupils aged 2-16yrs with a wide range of special educational needs including physical disabilities, sensory impairments, medical conditions, developmental delay, and learning or communication difficulties.
We are proud of our warm, welcoming environment, where child-centred team work is at the core of everything we do. We have a well-established supportive leadership team, an experienced and committed school staff and we work in partnership with a multi-disciplinary team of health professionals from Whittington Health and other key stakeholders.
We strive to provide the very best learning opportunities for all, and are creative in our approach to ensure a personalised learning journey for every child. Our curriculum provides flexible opportunities to draw on children's experiences to communicate important values in a meaningful context. Our bespoke curriculum is underpinned by the National Curriculum and has been created to meet the needs of our learners, and provide stretch and challenge for all.
Our school is situated on four mainstream school sites, allowing the benefits of best practices of a special school and supported opportunities, experiences and challenges of mainstream provision. In order to meet the range needs most effectively, the provision we offer is also varied, for example:
- a primary aged child who is able to access a mainstream curriculum with the addition of specific support may attend our Vale Inclusion Scheme at Belmont Infant and Belmont Junior School –spending the majority of time in their mainstream class.
- a child with complex needs may attend the Primary Department co-located with Lancasterian Primary School – with small group teaching with other children with similar needs, with appropriate inclusion opportunities, led by a Vale teacher and approximately three SNAs. For a small number of pupils with very complex medical needs who may need a longer transition into school we provide a tailored outreach programme.
- a secondary aged student will attend our Secondary Department which is co-located with Duke's Aldridge Academy; they would have a programme tailored to their individual needs, as above ranging from specialist teaching to full mainstream inclusion.
