We are excited to be expanding our education provision by opening a new school in Frodsham this summer. The school is set in a beautiful rural location and will offer excellent opportunity for outdoor learning as well as core academic subjects. The school will support 40 children who have complex needs arising from autism, behavioural and learning difficulties, to thrive, learn new skills, grow in confidence, and make new friends. Our dedicated staff will provide first class support. The education, health, care, and therapy teams work in partnership, and we pride ourselves on having strong relationships in place with parents, carers and funders. This tried and tested approach ensures every iMap student reaches their optimum level of achievement.
