We have designed a range of video tours and introductions with key members of staff as well as a range of lessons that you can experience.

11. Special Educational Needs

Welcome to the Learning Support Section.

If you have received extra support at your primary school or think that you may need some extra help at secondary school, this section is for you!

The Learning Support department would like to invite you to meet the team and take an extra mini tour of the school. In order to do this you will need to complete ‘The Quest’ by clicking on the link. Once you have completed ‘The Quest’, we would like you to tell us a little bit more about you by filling in the pupil voice. This will help us to help you when you join us in September.

Good luck with The Quest!

Ms T Moore, (Special Educational Needs Coordinator)
