Both school sites have been well-maintained and renovated to provide spacious, pleasant learning environments with excellent facilities. The school is thoughtfully managing its growth to ensure that expanding pupil numbers doesn't compromise the quality of education or the small-class, supported approach that helps these young people thrive.

  • Comprehensive health and safety policies consistently applied across both sites with regular equipment and fire safety checks
  • Suitable premises at both main site and renovated Swift House with spacious classrooms and essential facilities well-provided
  • Careful, measured approach to increasing pupil numbers while maintaining small class sizes and appropriate staff-to-pupil ratios
  • Clear recruitment procedures and accurate record-keeping for all pre-employment checks

Safeguarding
