Learning Support

Welcome to our Learning Support and Guidance Department

Our school’s core Christian values and ethos define all that we do for the support of our students with special educational needs and disabilities. Our shared purpose is to develop a positive and supportive learning environment where all young people can excel and take all that they have learnt, socially and morally in to the wider community as they develop as young adults.

• Have high aspirations of all our learners, irrespective of their challenges.
• Provide a differentiated curriculum appropriate to the individual needs and ability of each student.
