External Agencies
External Agents are key people who liaise with the school to provide students and families with assessments that form the basis of their professional advice for the school to follow. Along with bespoke intervention and support, they offer our students.
Here is some information about some of the external agencies that work with the school.

The aim of Dog Therapy UK is: we deliver Dog Assisted Creative Psychotherapy to young people between the ages of 4 - 18, to address the need for therapeutic intervention in schools at an affordable price. With a growing level of SEMH and SEND students within mainstream schools, we work with students with a variety of needs and conditions to assist in improving self esteem, confidence, awareness, behaviour, attendance and overall school morale. We combine dog therapy with creative modalities so that every student is able to access the service, no matter what their preferred method of communication is.
