THOSE HUGE SMALL VICTORIES

We are the highest Ofsted-rated provider in the country for special education and care. Our teams are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things.

With our high staff-to-child ratio and in-house clinical teams, we’re proud to have a reputation for excellence and market leading OFSTED ratings. Our Partnerships’ team aims to reach and impact more people than ever before with what we can offer young people.

GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN

We are looking for someone who can nurture and develop close links with all of the key personnel within local authority SEN and commissioning teams, in addition to all of the wider group of professionals associated with the education of children with special educational needs.
