Empowering Future Leaders
At the heart of our philosophy is the intention to provide an education which enables young people to develop self-awareness, well-being and happiness leading to positive health, accessible education, employment, and meaningful lives.
By building educational provision which is neuroinclusive in its design, we create something which works for everyone.
Philosophy
Our Students
We describe students as future leaders to signal how we view their current and future potential. We will take an asset based, person centered approach to build self-confidence, independence and social networks. When we talk about students as future leaders, one of the things we mean is that we expect that when they leave us they will be able to assert their needs and contribute to the creation of a society which is neuroinclusive.
Our Community
To be the best that we can be, we want to create a learning environment where curiosity is applauded, and that approach will be underpinned by a commitment to academic research and learning as a core component of the way we do things. We intend to use our learning to support our neighbouring schools, to create positive change within the wider community.
We will foster a culture of mutual trust between the wider community which includes partnering schools, pupils, families, professionals, employers, academics, trustees, and volunteers. We will create and embrace opportunities for dialogue and connection to enhance this.
Our Team
We believe our students will benefit from a staff group who are neurodivergent and will work hard to recruit and retain a neurodiverse workforce, valuing individuals' unique contributions to the team, and evaluating the impact on outcomes for children.
Through learning from and with our colleagues, students, and wider community we will become an evidence informed provision and lead change by example.
