There are a range of therapeutic facilities that benefit pupils of all ages and different special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This support is well thought out by specialist staff who work closely with teachers and support staff. This ensures pupils receive the right support when they need it. Staff know pupils well. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong. As a result, pupils feel safe. Staff model the positive behaviour they expect of pupils.

Ambition is high for all pupils.
