From the Courtlands School
Children with Moderate Learning Difficulties, Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties (SEMH), and other complex needs are served by Courtlands Special School Academy.
A wide range of needs are included here, including those of children with minor medical conditions, developmental disorders like ADHD and Dyspraxia, autism, and speech and language impairments.
A great sense of positivism, inclusion, and friendship permeates Courtlands, making it a wonderful location to visit.
Your kid must have an Education, Health and Care Plan and meet the unique requirements listed above in order to attend Courtlands.
"The school's overall offerings are excellent!
We couldn't be happier with the school.".
As employees of special schools, we recognise that we are "more than just instructors" and take pride in doing our part to change lives.
All of our kids look forward to going to school and do their very best to learn.
In order to satisfy the needs of the kids, our curriculum was built from the ground up.
Even though it is based on the National Curriculum, we have added to and modified what you may anticipate in a regular school.
Learning Outside the Classroom (LOTC), one of our special "subjects," has received national recognition for its creative use of nature to teach kids the value of connections and transferrable skills.
Our team of complementary therapeutic workers attends to the greater needs of our students, including their emotional, medical, and sensory demands.
For some of the most underprivileged kids in the area, we create customised packages using the knowledge of our occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, and other professionals.
We are known for being adaptable and making the impossible happen.
Our kids adore coming to school and taking use of everything we have to offer—from their therapies to the extracurricular clubs and activities, but most importantly—the close bonds they form with their classmates and teachers.
They tell us that when they make progress, they feel extremely safe, taken care of, and proud.
They behave exceptionally well when consistently supported to reflect on their own choices, and learn to empathise with others and to be proud of their own achievements.
I believe that we lay solid foundations for them to build an independent and prosperous life upon in the future.
