The local environment and regular visits into the community are valued and integrated into the planning. Visitors from the community are regularly invited into the school.

We have our own Community and Partnerships Coordinator who plans and organises these essential links and opportunities.

We pride ourselves in developing effective partnerships in the local community with various organisations for various purposes. These partnerships provide either academic lessons for our pupils, engagement opportunities, community visits to develop essential personal, independent and social skills and work experience.
