Our schools
We have an innovative and unique approach to
teaching and caring for children and young people with the most
profound and challenging needs.
Our schools offer a secure developing environment for all
pupils. An expert, dedicated and experienced team provides
education that is adapted to pupils' individual abilities. This,
alongside a careful and considered assessment process, specialist
support network and a partnership approach ensures that we can meet
the needs of each and every child. Our commitment to working
effectively with the most challenging children and young people has
enabled us to achieve consistently excellent outcomes for our
pupils.
We believe in a long-term approach, not a quick fix. We are
committed to supporting children and young people for as long as it
takes to help them make positive changes in their lives, so they
can achieve their full potential.
Something exciting is happening in Oxfordshire

successfully achieve. The school is being developed on the site
