Title

To provide an inspiring education for children from Key Stage 2 to Post 16 with ASD and an associated range of mild to moderate learning needs.

To offer a school where learners can access a truly holistic education in small teaching groups, without 1:1 support, on an open and multi-site school setting.

To offer pathways to further education and employability outcomes, including a Post-16 Foundation Year which supports qualifications, transition to employability programmes or further education.

 

Our strong culture is underpinned by our Undershaw Tenets which guide everything we do. These steer our thinking, guide our behaviour and ensure we fulfil our ambition and commitment to being a leading SEN provision.
