The Collett School

The Collett School is funded for 128 pupils between the ages of 5 and 16. who have moderate learning difficulties. All pupils have statements of special educational needs. Pupils may enter the school and transfer to another school at any age according to their special educational needs. The school is supported by visiting specialists including speech and language, educational psychology, physiotherapy and occupational therapy and Connexions advisers. The curriculum includes all the activities that the school provides for pupils. This includes the National Curriculum, which is modified and adapted to ensure pupils have access to it. We aim to help each child to develop their strengths and to develop in those areas they have difficulty in. Pupils are referred to the school for admission from Children, Schools and Families, SEN. They will have been assessed as having moderate learning difficulties. In addition they may have mild physical difficulties, social and emotional difficulties, or a particular syndrome, e.g. Autism.

At The Collett School we feel that all pupils, staff, parents, families, friends and colleagues from the wider community have a valuable part to play in school life. We recognise and praise individual achievement and success. We welcome views and suggestions from children and adults. We try to create a happy and stimulating environment where pupils and adults can work and learn together effectively.
