Our outcomes for children with EHCPs, in terms of EHCP outcomes, academic achievement and personal growth and attendance, set us apart from school like ours nationally. We have an incredibly diverse team of specialists and professional who place the children at the centre of every decision, and we work tirelessly to empower our young people. Our curriculum is inspired by stories. Every child arrives with a story that we make it our business to get to know. Shaped by their narratives and informed by their need, our curriculum sets out an ambitious, chapter by chapter, journey. We develop children's character and learner behaviour; we ensure they thrive on content that is knowledge rich; we continually weave within this narrative opportunities for lived experiences and we ultimately prepare them to navigate their own successful futures. Often having arrived with stories that they had little control over, our curriculum is unwavering in preparing them to write their next chapters.“Staff are dedicated and provide positive role models for children. Staff receive good quality training that equips them with the skills to meet children's individual needs. Staff morale is high, and there are several long-standing staff who have worked in the provision for many years. This provides children with continuity of care.” - OFSTEDWhat Makes Discovery Different:
  • To ensure our teaching staff get the time and space to learn, we have launched - Teacher Development Time (TDT).
  • By embracing technology, we're able to deliver virtual lessons, allowing teachers to be released from their class each week, to focus on their own learning and development.
  • In addition to their TDT, teachers also work alongside a coach, to ensure they have someone to discuss their learning with and help identify their strengths and areas for development.
  • Feedback from teachers shows that they are overwhelmingly happy with their development time and the time they spend with their coach.
