Overall Rating

Excellent

This school has automatic doors, a lift, help points and even a small wheelchair lift up to the stage areas. People in our school with disabilities are given a pass which allows them to use all of these facilities and leave class early to avoid overcrowding. Our school is newly built just a few years ago and I think that accessibility was a major point in the planning.

Disabled Access In and Around

Good

Lots of seating in the reception and social area directly at the entrance. Everything is very clearly signed and the lift is also directly at the main entrance.

Parking & Transport

Good

School buses have ramps if needed and disabled parking spaces directly outside the main entrance along with a drop off point. The nearest public bus stop is out the gates and down the hill, so not ideal.

Accessible Toilets

Good

Disabled toilet a little bit down a corridor from the entrance.

Staff

Excellent

Mrs Crosby is the best teacher ever! And Elaine/ mr odonnel help anyone with needs.

Additional Information

Very accessible school which I visit everyday.
