We believe learners thrive when they feel comfortable and authentic. Our uniform policy is flexible and designed around individual needs. Some learners wear full uniform, others may need adaptations for sensory comfort or personal circumstances. We work with each family to find what helps their child feel confident and ready to learn.
Our school day runs from 9:00am to 3:00pm, Monday to Friday. We also offer extended support through breakfast club from 8:00am and after-school activities until 4:30pm. Our flexible approach means we can adjust timings when individual learners need a different routine to succeed.
Your first day is carefully planned around you. You’ll meet your key adult who will guide you through the day, visit your personalised learning spaces, and connect with other learners in small, welcoming groups. We take time to understand what helps you feel safe and ready to learn. No rushing, no overwhelming crowds, just a gentle introduction to your new community.
