Horizon

Horizon is coloured in shades of orange/yellow and is housed in the building in the north-east corner of the site. The Leadership Team in Horizon comprises Mr J Humphreys (Head of School), Mr D Wardle (Head of Aqua), Mrs S Crouch (SENCO) and Mrs K Miller (Behaviour Manager).

An important part of Horizon are our two Opportunity Bases, Aqua and Ignis, for students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Aqua will support the learning of students with a Statement of ‘Mild’ Autism. These students, as is the case currently, will spend at least 70% of their time in one of the three ‘Small Schools’. This will include the Excellent Futures Curriculum. Students in Ignis have statements of ‘Moderate’ Autism. These students will spend virtually all of their time in Horizon, although they may join mainstream lessons if it is felt to be appropriate. Please note that the Ignis students are based at Green Wrythe Primary School for the 2011-2012 academic year due to the lack of space on our existing site.
