One of the best environments in SEND
"Our idea is that every student who comes to us will soar. No matter what their past, this will be the school where they 'lift off' and rise to the heights we know they can achieve".
Even the school's logo, a bird soaring high, illustrates the aspiration for every pupil and upon joining each young person is encouraged to aim high and begin their journey to both academic and personal achievement.
The school's extensive grounds, highly resourced classrooms and vocational centre offers the perfect environment for young people to enjoy - and this was recently recognised by Ofsted with a rating of Good.
