Learning beyond the classroom ✨
As part of our enrichment programme, our students have enjoyed a wonderful range of trips and experiences this year.
From @hobbledownheath, @milestonesmuseum, Hogmoor Inclosure and @haylingislanduk , to swimming, park visits, gymnastics, horse-riding and Forest School — each experience has helped bring learning to life in new and exciting ways.
These opportunities support confidence, independence and communication skills, while helping students build relationships, develop physical skills and explore the world around them.
We are so proud of the way our students have embraced every adventure.

What a wonderful school year it has been for Jax!
Throughout the year, Jax has been a friendly and familiar face around school, spending time with students, greeting everyone at the start and end of the day, and bringing plenty of smiles wherever he goes. He has also made lots of friends among our bus drivers and escorts, often accompanying students as they head out to their buses.
We are incredibly proud to share that Jax has recently completed his final Therapy Dog assessment. We are now eagerly awaiting the results and hope he has successfully passed, ready to begin the autumn term as a fully qualified Therapy Dog.

As another fantastic school year comes to a close, we were proud to celebrate some of our Post-16 students as they prepare for their next adventures.
Our Leavers’ Graduation Assembly was a very special occasion, celebrating how much each student has grown and the wonderful impact they have had on our school community.
We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and wish them every success and happiness as they begin the next chapter of their journey. Good luck — we will miss you all!

BUILDING UPDATE: The Edge, where learning meets life.
We are so excited that our new KS 3,4 & 5 building is this far!
Also known as The Edge, this building will provide opportunities for learners to put their skills into practice, building independence and preparing for successful futures.
Walk with one of our teachers as she takes you on a tour, through the corridor, in one of the classrooms and the new staffroom. Within this building there will also be a new cafe, a library and a student office.
