Our Vision and Mission

"Working together passionately to achieve the best outcomes for children and young people in our specialist SEND and AP settings" 

We believe our vision is wholly aligned with our charitable objects.  We will achieve the best outcomes for our pupils through ensuring our provision is of the highest quality, marked by a differentiated curriculum offer and personalised pedagogy.

As a MAT, we have an educational charity’s objective to “advance education for public benefit”.  We are to do this through offering a broad and balanced curriculum appropriate to the needs of its students and specially organised to make special educational provision for pupils with Special Educational Needs and for pupils in Alternative Provision who need short term provision as they may be temporarily unable to attend their mainstream school for a variety of reasons. 

Enable Trust is accountable for the education of every child and young person and the professional performance of every employee in providing that education.
