It is important to ensure our pupils are supported to live in the community and not just in our school environment, so every opportunity is taken to teach in real-life situations.

We aim to provide plenty of opportunities for our pupils to be included in life outside the school gates, while still allowing them to remain in their comfort zone. Pupils are given a range of experiences within the area and contact with the local community is an essential part of our weekly routine. Pupils are encouraged to take up small jobs internally on the school site. Opportunities to become involved in community projects are provided throughout the year, such as local fêtes, competitions, Red Nose Day, Children in Need, Remembrance Day, and other festivals and events.
