Beacon Status
Published on 23 May 2024

We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the Autism Accreditation Award at a beacon status. A panel of independent experts in the field found that the application provides evidence of how a positive learning environment is created for autistic young people in the school.
The panel also noted the following as particular areas of strength and innovation:
- The sharing of practice with parents, such as yoga sessions
- Themed stalls at Parents' Evenings
- Support for siblings
- The involvement of autistic young people in their local community
- Police and taxi/escorts training
- The application of the Quality-of-Life Framework
- The contribution made to knowledge and understanding of autism through training activities, contribution to professional events, and publication of articles and resources
We are truly proud of this achievement, which further evidences our mission statement:
Our mission is to provide opportunities for improving the quality of life for all of our pupils.
Ensuring a holistic approach will assist our pupils in building self-confidence, resilience, and independence whilst on their educational journey and beyond. Creating strong partnerships with parents enables us to motivate pupils to reach their dreams, goals, and aspirations. We will support them to become the best version of themselves.
