Our Partnership of Schools

The Sovereign Trust is at the very forefront of special needs education. We are a family of schools that places children at the core of all we do.

By being part of a Trust and working together, each school, every child and their family benefit from an enhanced range of provision, services and support including:

• Skilled and experienced staff
• High quality facilities and resources across our schools
• Coordinated family services including after-school and holiday clubs
• Access to a large team of creative and physical therapists

Our Education Principles

Although the curriculum and teaching styles vary to meet the individual needs of each learner, all Sovereign Trust schools follow the same guiding principles:

• Our curriculum is designed to ensure a breadth and balance of learning takes place
• All staff have high expectations of pupils’ abilities
• Our parents & carers are integral partners in education
• All pupils require a personalised education plan
• Lesson plans are developed to suit pupils’ learning ability, their age, and the session’s content
• Teaching styles vary to meet pupils’ preferred way of learning (incl. play, structured sessions, practical tasks)
• Therapy programmes are integrated into our classrooms
• Careful monitoring of achievement encourages pupils to achieve their personal best

The Sovereign Trust will be a centre of excellence for learning and development for pupils, parents and staff
