School Description

Vranch House is an inspiring place to learn, where pupils thrive. Pupils achieve physical, social and academic milestones that surpass even their parents’ and carers’ expectations. The school works innovatively with many external agencies to provide pupils with the very best medical and technological support. This helps pupils realise their full academic potential. The partnership between the educational and therapy offer is seamless. This means pupils learn to walk, communicate in their own way, learn and make exceptional progress from their starting points. Because pupils’ needs are so well met, their behaviour is impeccable and they feel safe. Staff anticipate pupils’ needs and provide support when they need it. Pupils are tolerant and respectful when staff provide medical support. They enjoy showing off their learning to visitors. Pupils are a delight to interact with. Pupils cherish the many opportunities they get to discover new talents and interests. They are empowered to have a voice by contributing to the ‘Vranch House magazine’. Pupils decided to write ‘We have disabilities, but they don’t define us’, which encapsulates the vision and ambition of this school. They see the tangible impact of their actions. For example, pupils work with local department stores to myth-bust on disabilities and increase disabled access.
