School Description

Victoria Education Centre is operated by ‘Livability’, a national charity. The charity’s education board oversees the work of the school, with a local school improvement board providing additional support and challenge. The headteacher is accountable to the director of education. The school admits pupils from a number of neighbouring local authorities and some from further afield. All pupils have an EHC plan associated with physical disability or complex medical conditions. Most pupils have additional learning needs. Some pupils have profound or complex learning difficulties. Inspection report: Victoria Education Centre, 2–3 July 2019 Page 8 of 11 The interim headteacher took up post in January 2019.
