Established by parents seeking tailored educational solutions, the school employs a learner-centred approach, primarily using Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and the Pyramid Approach to Education. This methodology focuses on enhancing communication and independence skills, which are crucial for improving the quality of life for pupils with complex needs.
With a current enrolment of 19 students and a capacity for 45, the school provides a supportive environment where each child is treated with dignity and respect. The curriculum is designed to accommodate the unique challenges faced by students, with input from a Multi-Disciplinary Team, including Behaviour Analysts, Speech and Language Therapists, and Occupational Therapists.
