Included within our core offer are Lego therapy, Speech and Language Therapy (SaLT) assistant group work, a TEACHH and total communication approach in KS2, Emotional Logic support, Draw to Talk and access to animals. 

Our new purpose-built school includes a soft playroom, an immersion room a library and specialist rooms for Art, Food Technology, Science and Outdoor Learning.

We are keen to both fit into our new community and be an asset to it to. We are happy to welcome visitors to our school, so you too can meet the amazing pupils and staff.
