Nyland School

At the heart of Nyland School is an aspiration that every day is a fresh start for the children. What happened the previous day, week, month, or year does not distract from our daily warm welcome as they step into the classroom. We strike a good balance between academic rigour and the PSHE and enrichment curriculum that is so important to the children in our care. We maintain high expectations for learning, just like any other mainstream school. We follow the national curriculum and there is a high level of teacher accountability to ensure that they deliver quality-first teaching that produces a good education for your child. We have a good understanding of the children’s learning, emotional, social, and behavioural needs and personalise the provision accordingly. There is an emphasis on personal, social, and health education and positive behaviour management. We are continuously reflecting on our professional practice to ensure that we are always meeting the needs of the children. It is an aspiration of all the staff at Nyland School that the children might one day return to mainstream education so that they are living and learning with the peers in their local community. Being a part of The White Horse Federation enables Nyland School to keep a valuable link with local schools, work collaboratively with our colleagues in the Federation to ensure high standards of teaching and learning, and provide a range of mainstream experiences for the school's children throughout the year. There are 6 classes at Nyland School, plus the PRU, which together can accommodate up to 42 children. Our staff comprises a team of highly qualified and experienced teachers who provide each and every child the best possible learning environment.
