The school has been named the most outstanding for students with moderate learning difficulties at the Enablement Awards 2025.
Taking place at a ceremony in London, the awards were created to celebrate and reward excellence, innovation and exemplary achievements in the disability sector in the UK.

"We have no idea who nominated us, but are really honoured that someone took the time to do so.
