Environment & Facilities
Located within the spacious grounds of the clinic, our school provides a calm and purposeful environment which encourages students to concentrate, learn and develop in a caring supportive setting. The school is based within the clinic enabling the teaching team to liaise closely at every stage with the medical team. There are two main school rooms. The smaller room is an ICT suite. Our students can access outdoor activities with a large multi-purpose football/netball court and an allotment plot for garden enthusiasts.
