Just before our summer break, we had a wonderful addition to our Forest School. With the help of a generous donation from the South Tyneside Scooter Club we employed the creative services of Sunderland-based Wooden Get Any Better to purchase a bespoke mud kitchen. It’s a brilliant addition to this wonderful space.
Attention Autism is designed to support children to develop their attention and listening skills as well as supporting the child’s social communication.
Maple class use Attention Autism every day to not only develop and expand these skills but to offer exposure to subject skills and curriculum areas, and the best part is we have so much fun doing it!
We are proud to be a Total Communication school and have recently taken delivery of our brand new outdoor communication boards which the children (and staff!) are loving!
At the end of the Summer term, School achieved the Platinum Award for School Games Mark for 2022/23. We are very proud of this amazing achievement. Well done Mrs Doyle for all her hard work to help school gain this award.
Our ‘Horrible Histories’ Fun Day raised an amazing £1704 for our school funds.
Thank you to everyone who came and supported. We all had a great day together!
Thanks go out to volunteers from the Sage Foundation who gave us their time and skills to install a fence around the perimeter of our Forest School. As if that wasn’t enough they also painted in our EY area and our main yard and worked hard over the 3 days.
We are very grateful for their ongoing support.
Bamburgh School is maintained by South Tyneside Education Authority for pupils whose special needs cover a broad spectrum of medical, physical, social, emotional and moderate learning difficulties.
Our school vision is to raise the achievement of pupils in order to inspire them to be as independent as their needs will allow. Staff also work to ensure that our pupils understand that the four components of the school motto (Aspiration, Commitment, Manners and Enjoyment) will help them to enjoy and achieve in their lives both within and outside school. To achieve these two over-arching aims, our intention is to teach a curriculum in each subject from EY to Year 11 which is meaningful for our pupils, builds on existing knowledge and so empowers them ‘to interact positively with the world around them’. We believe in ‘achievement’ in its widest possible sense: not only academic, but also personal, physical, emotional and social.
If, as a parent of a pupil attending this school, you require a paper copy of the information on this website, we shall provide this free of charge.
The overall aim of the school is to allow each pupil to develop his/her full potential, not only academically, but as independent citizens, in a positive, caring and supportive environment.
Our commitment to both meeting needs and measuring progress holistically is reflected in the school mission statement above. In addition, our ethos ACME (Aspiration Commitment, Manners and Enjoyment) is recognised and embraced throughout the whole school.
The school ethos is demonstrated through our:
Creative, challenging and imaginative lessons are at the heart of what we strive to deliver. The provision of a school environment which allows academic achievement and independence to flourish is an important part of our curriculum offer.
Our whole school approach to behaviour for learning is very successful in maintaining a caring, respectful atmosphere where effective teaching and learning can take place.
