We are a small, independent, special needs school in the Heath area of Cardiff. Our pupils range in age from 7-19 years old. All of our pupils have a Statement of Special Educational Needs which may include moderate to severe learning needs, ADHD, Attachment Disorder, behavioural difficulties, and social and emotional difficulties. Often our pupils have had a challenging educational journey or been out of school for some time before joining us.

We are fortunate in having a hard working and dedicated staff with a wealth of experience and training. Due to the vulnerability of our pupils, all staff are up to date with Safeguarding, Keeping Children Safe Online and First Aid qualifications and all are Team Teach trained. Our staff are trauma informed, understand the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences on emotional development and therefore behaviour and have been trained in positive behaviour management strategies.

In addition to this we have a qualified Psychotherapist on the team and staff specialists in Emotional Literacy, Trauma Informed School approaches and substance misuse. We have sports graduates, psychology graduates and specialist teachers in areas such as dyslexia and speech and language difficulties. All of our staff bring a nurturing and caring approach to the education of our pupils in addition to their own expertise.
