Main School
This section of the website contains information about our Main school, which caters for children and young people aged 2 to 19 with a wide range of learning needs, complex medical and healthcare needs and sensory impairments.
We pride ourselves on meeting our children and young people’s needs to a high standard and achieve this in partnership with families and carers, providing advice and support, as we feel this is imperative.
We promote a multi-disciplinary approach to the pupils’ education and care that includes a full-time health care team - physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists supporting, and working collaboratively with, a highly qualified and dedicated staff. We also liaise extensively with outside agencies to ensure all aspects of well-being for our children and young people’s lives are met.
Here you will find information about the specilist facilities and approaches that we implement to work with our very special people!
