School Description

The school, which is on two sites, provides for pupils with severe, profound and complex learning difficulties. Pupils from the age of two to 14 years are educated at the Gresham Drive campus and pupils aged 14 to 19 at the Barley Lane campus. There is no specific sixth form provision. Students aged 16 to 19 are taught in mixed groups, together with pupils aged 14 to 16, a curriculum which caters for the whole age range, according to their individual learning, personal and health needs. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs. Many pupils in addition have chronic, complex health difficulties which can significantly inhibit their school attendance. There are about equal numbers of boys and girls. Over three quarters of the school population are from minority ethnic groups, reflecting the make up of the borough. Almost two thirds of pupils speak English as an additional language. Nearly half of the pupils are supported by the pupil premium (additional funding provided for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, children looked after by the local authority, and children of service families). The school provides an outreach service to other schools in the local authority as well as managing a further proportion of the local authority’s special educational needs support service.
