Through a nurturing, therapeutic and inclusive approach, the school empowers pupils to overcome barriers to learning, develop resilience, and achieve their full potential both academically and personally.

The Intervention Manager plays a key strategic and operational role in ensuring that pupils receive targeted, high-quality support to overcome barriers to learning and achieve positive educational, social and emotional outcomes. Working closely with school leaders, teaching staff, families and external agencies, the postholder will lead the planning, implementation and evaluation of intervention programmes that meet the needs of individual pupils and groups.
