The school's primary concern is to address the needs of all pupils to help them achieve their full potential. The large majority of our pupils have been diagnosed as having social, emotional, behavioural disorders (SEBD) as their primary need with pupils on the autism spectrum forming our second largest group of Statemented need. Pupils have difficulty with social communication, social interaction and managing their anger. These difficulties impact on the pupils' ability to access the curriculum. Our curriculum is designed to be relevant and to recognise and cater for the individual needs of each pupil at our school. Pupils are given access to the National Curriculum, suitably modified to meet individual needs. The school's SENCO oversees the day to day operation of the school's special educational needs (SEN) Policy and co-ordinates provision for individual pupils. All teaching and other school staff are responsible and accountable for meeting the SEN of pupils who attend the school, by planning and delivering an individualised programme for each pupil and recording progress. The school makes available a range of accredited courses to aid the pupils when they leave and move onto college or employment. Pupils are placed in small teaching groups. Each class group is taught by a teacher who is supported by one if not two Teaching Assistants (TAs) who are linked to particular class groups. Pupils are placed in classes according to their chronological age. Volunteers accepted.
