We are a community school where learning together is seen as a very important part of the education we offer. The school building is traditionally designed and dates from the turn of the century. Each group of children or class has its own classroom. Our site is fully accessible and most classes have direct access to outdoors. All classes have access to shared spaces around the building such as resources areas or learning zones, our two large hall spaces, our music and dance room and our outdoor learning spaces.

The aim of the site is to provide enough support to unlock each pupil’s potential so they can live fulfilling and productive lives. We provide young people with as much freedom as possible in a safe and supervised environment. This is achievable due to the dedication and support from a range of employed professionals who are passionate, reliable, and understanding
