Ethos and values
Staff and children work hard to fulfil our mission statement which summarises our ethos and values: ‘Our school is a small, caring community, where individuals are valued and achieve self-esteem through success. Children and adults are encouraged to belong to, learn and develop in an inclusive and positive learning environment. Our actions impact on others - ‘what we do matters’ - so in learning, attitudes, behaviour and aspirations we strive to make a difference for the better’.

Summary of special educational needs policy
Our unit caters for children who have a severe learning difficulty with autism, or developmental delay or communication delay. Staff use PECs, Makaton and TEAACH to support the children’s learning. The children are included with the mainstream for lunch, playtimes and some appropriate assemblies and lessons. Mainstream children with special needs work in their own classroom and are supported by the teacher differentiating work; an individual education plan; a skilled SEN co-ordinator and some small group or individual work with a teaching assistant.
