Students in the secondary department are taught in ‘stage not age’ Key Stage tutor groups, which are skilfully organised to ensure that every learner’s developmental needs, strengths and learning style are fully understood and supported. 

A core strength of our curriculum is the focus on developing pupils’ regulation and communication skills, ensuring they can confidently advocate for themselves and stay well‑regulated in order to access learning, relationships and the wider community. These foundations prepare pupils for successful transition into further education, adulthood and the world of work.

Our broad, ambitious and engaging curriculum offers rich learning across a wide range of subjects, giving students the knowledge, skills and experiences they need to understand the world around them. Learning is adapted at multiple levels so every pupil can make meaningful progress at an appropriate pace.

We place equal emphasis on academic, social and emotional development. Through a holistic, life‑learning approach, students develop the essential skills required for future education, independence and successful transition into adulthood. 

We pride ourselves on offering a truly personalised curriculum, tailored to individual pathways and rooted in high expectations for every learner. Our skilled staff team and exceptional pastoral support ensure that students feel safe, valued and ready to thrive.
