Resolution

Appropriate education is provided not only for the child but also society.

We offer each student their own personal pathway featuring high quality training and work-based learning opportunities to equip them with skills that will last a lifetime.

To achieve this goal, we develop individual schemes of work and transition plans into vocational training based on each students needs, abilities, independent living skills, personal interests and goals.

Our aim is to ensure all students who leave our care are supported to make a positive contribution to society by gaining employment and living their lives as independently as possible.
