Aims

Bettridge is a school in which both children and adults are challenged to do their very best.

We aim:

To ensure a happy, secure and stimulating environment in which each individual is respected and valued.
To provide a broad, balanced curriculum, which takes account of statutory requirements and is accessible and relevant for each pupil.
To plan carefully to ensure that pupils are successful in their learning.
To provide a variety of specialist therapies and facilities that meet the special needs of pupils on an individual basis.
To encourage pupils to develop self-esteem, positive relationships and enthusiasm for life.
To develop positive links with a wide variety of other pre-school settings, schools and colleges in order to provide extended opportunities for pupils.
To ensure that pupils leave school feeling good about themselves and are equipped to live as independently as possible in their adult lives.
To develop effective relationships with families by recognising parents/carers as key partners in the education of their child.
To demonstrate a commitment to continuing professional development by all staff in order to enhance the education provided by the school.
To foster understanding and positive attitudes towards our pupils by the community and by the pupils to the community in which they live.
