Welcome to our Secondary Department. We anticipate an exciting year, yet again!
Our Secondary staff not only seek to educate our students so that they can achieve academically (and aim for their dreams), but are also committed to supporting students to make, social, emotional and behavioural progress. It’s not all work and no play, however!
We have lots of exciting things planned, including assemblies, trips, football matches, plays and celebrations.The staff are excited about a new academic year and a fresh start for students.

Sex education is covered within the Science lessons and RE within themed events, with access to appropriate accreditation if relevant.
We are spending time preparing for the new National Curriculum. As a consequence, we have decided that we will continue to assess this year, using our current system, whilst also collaborating throughout the year, through LINCs and meetings with other Sefton schools to establish a common assessment framework across Special Schools.
