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 Tenets 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.

We Believe

We believe that young people with SEND should realise the aspirations they deserve as they grow into themselves, their futures, and take up their places in the workplace and the wider world.

We Unite

School and home work in proactive partnerships centred around each child. As a school we will also use our position to build partnerships and grow awareness of inclusivity of opportunity for those with SEND.
