At Crowdys Hill, we are committed to creating a vibrant and supportive learning community for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Our ethos is founded on the belief that every child, regardless of their individual challenges, deserves the opportunity to excel in an environment that values their uniqueness and potential.



We strive to provide a tailored approach to education that not only meets their academic needs but also supports their social and emotional development.



Our school's core values --

respect, inclusion, empathy, and aspiration

-- underpin all that we do. We recognise that every student is an individual, and we aim to unlock their potential by providing a bespoke curriculum that adapts to their needs and fosters a sense of achievement and belonging. By focusing on building confidence, resilience, and a love for learning, we aim to prepare our students for success both within and beyond the classroom.



The curriculum at Crowdys Hill is designed to build students' self-esteem and aspirations, focusing not only on academic achievement but also on social success, personal milestones, and extracurricular involvement. As a school we ensure that students have regular opportunities to showcase their achievements--whether that's through art exhibitions, drama performances, sports events, or other personalised celebrations of success. These events build a sense of pride and help reinforce that every achievement, no matter how small, is a step forward.
