• What they offer / teach

  Neptune School is an independent, co-educational day school in Warmley, Bristol with 25 mixed-gender places, offering a broad and balanced personalised curriculum, small classes (max 4 pupils with 1 teacher and 1 teaching assistant), 1:1 support and an in-house integrated therapies team. Provision includes GCSEs, ASDAN, AQA units, Functional Skills and ECDL, targeted literacy and numeracy interventions, weekly 1:1 mentoring, bespoke PSHE and SRE, weekly enrichment and outdoor learning, and progress tracking using B Squared and Motional assessments. Extended, experiential learning outside the classroom is also provided.

• Ages served

  The school provides education for children and young people in key stage 2 to key stage 4; no specific ages in years are stated.

• Approach

  The school describes itself as a truly therapeutic, attachment-aware specialist provision using an inclusive multidisciplinary approach, with bespoke programmes of learning shaped around each pupil's EHCP outcomes and individual education plan. It believes all behaviour is communication, uses restorative approaches, self-regulation plans and a personalised reward scheme linked to a school token economy, and gives as much attention to social, emotional development and preparation for adulthood as to academic progress. Staff have ASC and attachment training, and autism/SEMH progress is tracked across communication, social interaction, emotional regulation and flexibility.

• Admissions

  Intake is determined through a five-stage assessment process: parents/carers or the local authority apply, the senior leadership team reviews the paperwork, an initial meeting is held, and a decision is made within five working days of that meeting. If a place is offered there is an initial meeting and school tour, liaison with the previous provision, an admissions pack, an individual risk assessment and behaviour management plan, transport arranged by parents and the local authority, and a transition plan; applications are accepted at all points of the year. Enquiries can be made to the school or to proprietors Phoenix Learning and Care's referrals team.
