...where every child is a valued individual....

To develop and enhance the ability of each individual to have dignity and exercise personal choice
To apply approaches to teaching and learning that are proven to be effective
To provide pupils with the most appropriate means of mobility, communication and self expression

We appreciate the unique contribution made by each pupil to the life of the school
We believe the understanding and mutual respect that follows the development of closer links between Bishopswood, our partner schools and the wider community benefits all involved
We recognise the positive support that parents and carers provide in helping us to deliver our stated aims for each child
We celebrate the achievements, no matter how big or small, made by individual pupils
We recognise the importance of teamwork and the different roles and skills contributed by individual staff or groups of staff
