At The Gateway School, our vision is to equip our pupils with knowledge beyond the classroom, beyond exams and beyond school… We want them to envisage their future.

Everything we do, say and provide is designed to ensure our pupils leave school as employable, likeable and sociable people.

Our commitment to 'Powerful Knowledge' helps ensure our pupils are not ‘locked out’ from knowledge that other people possess. 

We have an inclusive approach to effectively educating young people with SEN, as well as developing staff who can deliver this approach. In doing so, we are committed to developing young people who can effectively communicate, reflect, are independent, challenge themselves, respond to setbacks well and recover from them. 

Core Values

Our vision is delivered via our six core values:

1. Resilience
2. Reflection
3. Communication
4. Going beyond your borders
5. Balance 
6. Independence

These values underpin everything we do. 

We aim to give our students a consistent experience that looks to exploit any and every situation that helps teach/reinforce these values.

Our values are designed to hit both academic and personal development - no value exists in one ‘camp’ alone. They help our students achieve beyond the classroom, beyond school and beyond adolescence.
