Staff Training
As a dedicated team of educators, we are committed to providing high-quality support and education for our pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Our school is a unique and vibrant community that celebrates individuality and fosters a culture of inclusivity and respect. Through ongoing training, we focus on equipping our staff with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively support our pupils' diverse needs. By investing in our staff's professional development, we aim to provide a tailored education that empowers our students to reach their full potential and thrive in a supportive environment.
'All staff are trained in how to teach phonics so that no matter what age a pupil joins the school, their gaps in phonics are quickly identified and start to close.' (Ofsted 2024)
