Summary

The Lampard Community School, located in Barnstaple, Devon, is a foundation special school catering to children aged 5-16 with complex learning difficulties, particularly those with speech, language, communication, and interaction needs (SLCN). The school is part of The Special Partnership Trust and serves 184 pupils, all of whom have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The primary aim is to equip students with the skills necessary for independent and fulfilling lives.

The curriculum includes Functional Skills and WJEC qualifications at Entry Level for Key Stage 4 students, ensuring they are well-prepared for post-16 education. The school emphasizes collaborative relationships with parents, carers, and various agencies to provide tailored support for each child. OFSTED reports highlight the positive environment, where pupils feel valued and supported by staff.

Admissions are managed by Devon County Council's SEND Statutory Team, and children must have an EHCP with communication and interaction as a primary need. The school encourages prospective parents to visit and engage with the staff to understand the supportive community it fosters.
