The school employs a therapeutic approach based in neuroscience and offers a broad, ambitious curriculum carefully adapted to help pupils achieve their education, health and care plan targets. It received an Ofsted 'Outstanding' rating in June 2025 and was awarded the Inclusion Quality Mark Award in 2018. The school operates on principles of therapeutic education, offering speech and language therapy, creative arts psychotherapy, occupational therapy, and the award-winning LIFE programme focused on leadership, independence, future options, employability, and empowerment.
