Headteacher’s Statement
“I am proud to be Headteacher of Arbour House because it is a very special school, where staff, pupils, parents and carers work closely together to create a strong, supportive environment for children to develop and make progress. This school community is built on the core values of trust, positive regard, shared learning, and equality.
Our educational facilities cater for pupils from 6-18 years and the pupils who come to Arbour House have a range of complex needs, including SLD, MLD, ASD, ADHD and related difficulties. We have a tailored and flexible approach, and aim to ensure that pupils’ educational provision is as individualised and creative as possible to best meet their needs.
We are a happy, warm and welcoming school, where children are at the heart of what we do, and where they can be safe, thrive and be supported in a holistic and cohesive way to achieve their full potential.
You are most welcome to visit the school and I look forward to meeting you.”
