Our Curriculum

Our curriculum and timetables are designed to meet the needs of a wide range of pupil needs. Whilst many pupils successfully access a full timetable, some of our pupils attend shorter days because of medical needs or illness with the aim of building up time and returning to school, where appropriate.

All of our pupils are encouraged take part in whole-school themed days, sporting and cultural activities, and extracurricular activities to complement their formal timetables.
