The work of the school is comprehensively supported by a range of services within the Children and Young Peoples Services Dept. e.g. specialist teachers in sensory impairment and teachers from the Autism Outreach service. A significant feature of provision is the multi-disciplinary approach and inter-disciplinary working between all those working with children at the school.

Review of provision is made by students, parents, staff, the LA and governors through a variety of means including Personal Development Programmes, annual reports, reviews of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHC plans), curriculum review and ongoing monitoring.

If you would like to see detailed information on student progress and Key Stage attainment the school has an Achievement and Progress report which we would be pleased to discuss with you. The government publishes school performance tables and other information on school progress on its website at www.education.gov.uk. for more detailed information you may wish to look at www.education.gov.uk/schools/performance/ .  However, our own statistics provide more detailed 'small step' progress reports and these are discussed with parents at annual review meetings and other reporting occasions.

Admission of pupils to the school is through an Education, Health and Care Plan or for assessment. Pupils will be admitted from Loughborough and the surrounding areas as directed by the Special Education Needs Assessment Service at County Hall. All pupils will have special educational needs or learning difficulties. Further information on admissions can be found via the Leicestershire County Council website at www.leics.gov.uk
