Throughout the school we seek to maintain an environment most likely to facilitate learning for our pupils.

In order to achieve this we have:

A broad and balanced curriculum in line with the National Curriculum, taking into consideration each child's individual needs, and through this to extend the development of the whole child.
A commitment to providing equal opportunities and access to the curriculum, for all children and young people in hospital.
Attractive and well resourced classrooms.
Appropriate Information Technology.
Consistent and sensitive programmes designed to moderate challenging behaviour.
A strong commitment to multi-disciplinary collaboration with professionals to ensure that the development of the whole child is considered during a hospital admission.
Close liaison with parents/guardians as partners to support them by providing education for their child in hospital, and advice about recent special needs legislation, educational placements and individual tuition.
Links with the community through regular creative arts and science workshops, outings and visiting teachers.
Continuity and progression by assessment, evaluation, record keeping and a differentiated curriculum.
Continuity of educational provision by liaison with pupil's home school and, where appropriate, their Local Education Authority.
We can assist in following coursework for GCSEs and 'A' Levels and college courses during the hospital stay.
The school is a registered exam centre and pupils can take national exams whilst in hospital.
Our examinations officer is Jay Ravalia who can be contacted at the school office.
