Elm Court School

Elm Court is a special school for pupils aged 9 to 19 years who have learning difficulties with associated social and communication needs – many have autism.

We aim for all pupils to leave Elm Court well prepared for the next stage in their education, training or for moving onto employment – this applies not just in terms of formal qualifications but also through the personal development and degree of independence that they achieve.

Our pupils benefit from a curriculum that is creative, practical, broad and balanced, provides many opportunities for their own personal development and prepares them as best we can to become independent and successful adults.

We aim to provide a creative and practical learning environment where pupils are motivated to achieve ambitious goals in all areas of the curriculum.

We are committed to providing a safe and happy learning community built on positive relationships where everyone can thrive and:

• develop the confidence necessary to be the best version of themselves
• become as independent and resilient as they can be
• recognize and manage their own emotions
• show kindness to others
• are able to respect and celebrate individuality and diversity
• are well prepared for life after Elm Court and the next stage in their education, training or employment

Elm Court School is part of the Elm Court Livity Federation, along with The Livity School
