Inclusion

Cornfield School is an inclusive school. A school where:

1. The teaching, learning, achievement, attitudes and well-being of every young person matters;
2. This is demonstrated through our policies, outlook and practices - and includes all of our pupils - together with a desire to develop their full potential.
3. Cornfield School is a learning and caring community.
4. You will see and feel the quality of all relationships in our community … students, staff, parents, carers, houses, neighbours.
5. Everyone can access a broad and balanced curriculum and genuine fulltime education.

We have high expectations and suitable challenge for all our young people. There are no barriers to achieving and thriving - education is a tool for improving life chances for the young people and adults at Cornfield School.

We have a strong commitment to conflict resolution and reparation. As such permanent exclusions were nil for 2005/6, although some residential students have moved placements, eg to secure units. Fixed term exclusions are usually for one day and are comparatively low. Work is always set to do at home.

A permanent exclusion would occur in a serious case of violence or damage.

Please come to visit by appointment!

As Headteacher I am always delighted to show parents/carers, educational psychologists, social workers, and placement officers around our small school.
We have a saying, "You don't have to act out to get noticed here!" and another one: "It's not where you've come from that matters, but where you're going to that counts…!"

Please do come to see what learning and achievements your child can make.
