Great Oaks School

Name of Organisation: Great Oaks School
Headline: Secondary school for young people with a range of complex learning difficulties
What We Do: Greatoaksschoolimage.jpg

At Great Oaks we follow the full National Curriculum but with a particular emphasis on developing communication, literacy, numeracy and personal and social skills. In September 2010 we achieved specialist school status in the Arts. Creativity and the arts have proved an extremely successful way of engaging our young people and helping to promote their self esteem and self confidence.

We have recently become Co-operative Trust school in collaboration with our mainstream partner schools in the Upper Shirley area of Southampton. The values of the co-operative movement particularly in equality of opportunity, responsibility and working together reflect our values as a school.

Please note: telephone the school for information and to make an appointment.
