Partnerships

Our key partners are:

Pupils, Parents and carers
Local authority and NHS professionals
Other professionals and experts
The local community

Parents and Carers

Working effectively with parents and carers is one of the key priorities for our school. Our Family Footings team ensure that relationships with families are productive and supportive of their children’s educational experience, a relationship that we refer to as ‘Parents as Partners’.

Local Authority and NHS professionals

We use a multidisciplinary approach to all aspects of planning and delivery. This is to draw on expertise from key professions such as occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and educational psychology for direct support to children and for development of staff and the organisation

External input from specialist CAMHS teams and other professionals will be sought and used appropriately.

Other professionals and experts

We look for opportunities to engage with expertise/services that we know will enhance the provision for young people. This may be as a one off or long term basis, dependant on the needs of the school and individual pupils. For example:

Therapies and counselling
Therapeutic services e.g. therapy dog
Careers advice

Local Community

We value being an active part of the local community and are committed to building strong connections with those around us. This includes working closely with our local church, Flourish at the Farm, and Middle Earth. We actively look for opportunities to get involved and support local initiatives, and our hope is that the school will become a valued resource for the whole community.

We support full access to a range of services including:
