Our experienced multi-professional staff includes three speech and language therapists, an occupational therapist, music & dance therapists and Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) who all work collaboratively to meet our students special educational needs. Close contact is sought and maintained with students’ families and placing Local Education Authorities (LEAs). Interested families are welcome to book places on one of our regular visitors mornings following which prospective students spend a minimum of a day in school for observation.
