Detailed description:
The schools real strengths lie in its positive atmosphere created by the hardworking and dedicated staff, who create a happy, secure and challenging environment. We have very good adult to pupil ratio and this enables us to give our children high levels of support when it is needed. Our philosophy is to give individual attention when it is required but encourage all children to be as independent as possible both in their learning and in their social and personal development.
We are committed to supporting parents and we understand that as parents of a special needs child you may need additional advice and support to ensure that your child gets the best chances in life. We can also arrange for you to meet informally with other parents, who will tell you how Danecourt supports their child.
