The school has a very unique and refreshing approach to education, utilising occupational & speech language therapy, in addition to thereputic intervention, and well being specialists for staff & pupils alike. This is noticed immediately as you enter a classroom at the school - staff and pupils share a 1 to 1 comradery and partnership, whilst every member of the team understands that it is impossible to plan a perfect day within SEN! The school boasts a dynamic range of resources, including an indoor swimmming pool, horticulture ground, outdoor racing track, large animal therapy areas, and forrest outdoor schooling enclosures.
