Kelford Special School

General information

How do we want the world to see our young people?
We want all our young people to be valued, visible and fully included in our community and in the communities where they live. We want them to be active and responsible citizens.

What do we want for them?
We want all our young people to be ‘the best they can be’. We want them to be confident and successful learners who are proud of their achievements. We want them to be safe, healthy and happy. We want all our young people to have strong and influential voices and have the confidence and ability to make good choices and decisions. We want them to be fully prepared for the next stage of their lives.

What do we want our schools to be like?
We want to be ‘the best we can be’. We want our schools to be passionately person-centred, always putting children, young people and families at the centre of everything we do. We want our schools to be flexible, dynamic and responsive to the needs, interests and abilities of our children and young people. We want to influence widely through strong partnerships with other schools and services. We want to be ‘learning schools’ which value and celebrate success and which are reflective, analytical and always focused on improvement.
