Welcome to Culverhill School!
'Working together to value individuals and develop potential' Welcome to our school web site. Culverhill is a Special School maintained by South Gloucestershire Education Authority to provide a quality education for pupils with complex learning difficulties. Staff and governors here work with parents and other professionals to make the most of a child's strengths and to ensure that they are able to develop their potential. We try to build self-esteem and confidence in an atmosphere where everyone is valued and success is always celebrated. We have 137 pupils currently on roll between the ages of 7 and 16 who have Statements which reflect their moderate learning difficulties plus a range of additional specific learning difficulties including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Communication Disorders, and physical or sensory difficulties. Pupils are taught in classes of 11/12 pupils usually with the support of a special needs assistant working alongside the teacher. All National Curriculum subjects are taught with the emphasis on small, achievable steps and practical opportunities for reinforcement. Pupils have Individual Education Plans and are encouraged to share in the setting and reviewing of personal targets. We welcome visits from anyone interested in our school. For an appointment please telephone the school secretary on 01454 866930. We look forward to seeing you!
