Bradfields School is an innovative and forward-looking Medway LA school which provides education for students who primarily experience complex learning difficulties and disabilities which may include speech, language, emotional, sensory, physical or autistic spectrum secondary disabilities. The school includes a split site 11-14 Lower School and 14-19 Upper School secondary day special school on one campus. It delivers the full National Curriculum and Externally Accredited Qualifications via subject specialist teachers, experienced in working with students with special educational needs. The curriculum is planned, delivered and assessed at a pace and level appropriate to individual need. The school has an overall staff: student ratio of 1:10 which ensures that teaching groups are smaller in size. As a result staff are able to deliver a curriculum that includes developing basic access skills, subject specific knowledge/skills, an enquiring mind, independence, positive relationships, self-esteem, confidence and the social/emotional skills to prepare students for both successful participation in their community and access to further education and/or the workplace. The school prides itself in the quality of pastoral care and support available, which is key to our philosophy that every child matters. A particular strength of the school is the extremely good working partnership between staff, students, parents/carers and the various support agencies. The quality of relationships and trust between staff and students is central to our aim that the provision is supportive, safe, stimulating, challenging and individually targeted to ensure that all students achieve high educational standards relative to their ability. From 2012 the Lower School will also be the site for the development of more complex ASD Provision from 2012 Key Stage 1-3; with additional changes on the Upper School site for similar KS4 & 5 students. The completed work will actually join the 2 sites together. We are an ambitious school and look to provide the very best quality of specialist education to each and every one of our students.
