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.
We Empower
Specialist teams will empower each child to grow in self-awareness, self-esteem, and independence as they engage with each other, their learning and their community.
We Engage
We will celebrate individual growth and offer a flexible, multi-disciplinary curriculum model which is bespoke to each learner.
We Explore
We will offer a broad range of subjects and experiences which extend beyond the classroom and school gates, in a flexible timetable that allows for both depth of discovery and for each young person to learn in their own way and at their own pace.
We Inspire
We will work to provide the right opportunities for each learner to develop the skills they need to gain competitive, integrated employment. We will provide a whole school targeted programme of employability coaching, layered skills and work placement.
We Connect
We work across specialist sites and connect with other schools and partners, locally and nationally.
