The support in class is focused around the needs of the student and is based on strong relationships and good communication between staff, students and parents, which we believe is key to enabling maximum progress.

We are flexible in our support of students and look to develop them, academically, emotionally and socially. We are quick to identify the needs of students and make excellent use of external stakeholders to identify needs and implement support.
