With around 70 pupils on the roll, all classes are made up of small groups with the average class size being eight pupils. Each class has one teacher and around 4 experienced Teaching Assistants, depending on class size. The high ratio of staff to students ensures that all students receive individualised support. Staff work hard to build positive relationships with each student, fostering a supportive and safe learning environment.
