Overview

Drayton Manor High School offers a wide range of opportunities, academic, practical, cultural and sporting to all students. The school thinks and works in terms of individual students, their personal development, their academic tuition, their interests and their career needs. Students with various types of needs are supported at our school.  We work closely with parents, staff and external agencies to ensure our students make good progress and the individual needs of the students are met.

Identifying Needs

We identify the needs of all students whether they have a special educational need or not. This takes place on admission and throughout their time at Drayton Manor.  Every student is seen as an individual and if special educational needs and/or additional intervention is required the school will inform the parent.   

Year 6 and 11 Transition

The school works closely in partnership with primary and high schools to provide a purposeful and smooth transition for students of all backgrounds and circumstances. The school offers a large range of enrichment and support activities to students at the key points of the transition process.

Specialist services and External Agencies

The school offers a variety of specialist services supporting a large range of needs across the school.  The Educational Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, School Counsellor and Speech and Language Therapist are in school one day each week.
