Trafalgar School is a beacon school for Relational Practice in the south which means we put the building, maintaining and restoring of relationships with all members of our community at the heart of everything we do. We work restoratively with students, families and with each other to maintain the strong community culture and our very strong inclusive ethos.

Our aim is to provide an outstanding all-round educational experience and we are committed to the success and excellence for all our students. In June 2023 we were inspected by OFSTED and judged to be a strongly ‘good’ school with ‘outstanding’ personal development. We are enjoying the next stage of our journey (to become outstanding in all areas!) and continue to receive incredible feedback about our child centred approach; our leaders share our best practice through extensive outreach work across the city and beyond.

Some days may go more smoothly than others, but there is never a dull moment when working with our students. It is the most rewarding job I’ve ever had!” Senior Inclusion Assistant

The students are always our priority and the support they receive is extraordinary. I am always happy to go the extra mile to make sure they receive the best support possible. Building great relationships with our students is a big part of the job and for them knowing they have a trusted adult to help them when its needed can make a big difference.
