We strive to ensure that our school site is accessible for disabled users, with accommodation arranged on a single floor, and all areas being able to be accessed without steps. Additional measures are taken for pupils with particular needs (such as installing sound systems for hearing loss) or medical conditions. Our Accessibility Plan is reviewed annually to ensure that it meets the needs of individual pupils.

When visiting the site, please do make office staff aware of any needs, so that you can be as comfortable as possible whilst with us.
