School Description

New Horizons is a special school for pupils with a statement of special educational needs for their social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Pupils may also have other special educational needs such as autistic spectrum disorders or speech and language difficulties. The school operates from two sites: − Beauchamp Road, where 55 pupils in Key Stages 2 and 3 are on roll − Tile Barn Road, where 22 pupils in Key Stage 4 are on roll. The Beauchamp Road site includes a class for pupils who have been, or are at risk of being, excluded from mainstream school. These pupils are registered with both New Horizons and their mainstream school. The school admits pupils throughout the school year and into all year groups. This means that while some pupils have been at the school for a number of years others have only joined recently. The number of boys on the school roll is much higher than the number of girls. Almost all pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium is above average. This is additional government funding provided to give extra support to pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and to children who are looked after. The school uses Ivyland Farm, Plumpton Agricultural College and Flimwell Forestry Centre as alternative providers of education for a small number of pupils in Key Stage 4. The school makes early entry to GCSE examinations for pupils in Year 10 in mathematics. The school is part of the SABDEN federation, which includes three special schools, a secure unit and a pupil referral unit. The executive headteacher and the governing body are responsible for the federation as a whole. The executive headteacher is a National Leader of Education.
