One of our Senior SLTs, Sarah says,

“It's difficult to choose a favourite bit of my job as there are so many highlights everyday. The best bits are being part of a wider team working collaboratively to really get to know our pupils and plan and deliver a bespoke approach to their education, with therapy embedded into their daily activities...and seeing the resulting impact on our young people, accessing their curriculum, achieving their goals and becoming independent and successful communicators.”

I couldn't have put it better myself! Come and meet us- we'd love to have you as part of the team!

 “Staff have a clear sense of pride in the school and understand their role in contributing to its continued success…… One parent stated, ‘The school is outstanding and absolutely amazing, we can now live as a normal family.’”

(Ofsted, School Short Inspection Report 12 March 2018)
