Vision, Values
and Culture

To be an inclusive school where the best interests of the child are at the heart of everything that we do.

A school where we empower students to aspire and achieve.

A caring and safe environment which allows students to thrive and flourish, and prepares them to be socially and economically engaged in the future.

 

Our strong culture is underpinned by our Undershaw Values which guide everything we do. These steer our thinking, guide our behaviour and ensure we fulfil our ambition and commitment to being a leading SEN provision.
