🎓Congratulations to all of our learners on their fantastic summer exam results! This year, our students successfully completed qualifications ranging from Entry Level through to GCSE, and we have been absolutely blown away by their achievements.

Their results are a testament to the hard work, dedication and resilience they showed throughout the academic year. Every learner should be incredibly proud of what they have accomplished.
We would like to say a huge well done to all of our pupils and celebrate the effort they put into their studies.

Your commitment has truly paid off, and we couldn't be prouder of each and every one of you. Congratulations on your success and best of luck for the exciting year ahead!

We are back!
Welcome to the new school year.
It may only be the first day, but so far, so good! Looking around the classes this morning, pupils looked settled, happy and as though they had never been away.
A lot of work has taken place over the summer to get school ready for today. At the main site, we now have solar panels, an additional hygiene room, a new medical room, an extra teaching space and a number of areas that have been newly decorated. A big thank you to Jordan, our Premises and Health & Safety Leader, for managing all of the logistics involved.
We also have a brand-new school website, with some excellent new photographs and lots of updated information. Thank you to Reece, our Senior IT Technician, for putting it all together. Have a look when you get the chance.
Over the coming year, Helen McIntyre will also be leading some new parent partnership sessions, so please look out for more information about these.
In addition, we will be making an exciting announcement in the next couple of weeks…
On a more personal note, this will be my final year at Cleaswell Hill School. I will be retiring next summer after 22 years at the school — and no, that isn't the exciting announcement!
I wanted parents and families to hear this directly from me, particularly as the advertisement for the next Headteacher will be published shortly. Recruitment is expected to take place before October half term, which will allow plenty of time for a thorough transition.
That is still some way off. For now, my focus is firmly on the year ahead, and I intend to make my final year at Cleaswell Hill the best one yet.
Welcome back everyone — here's to a great year.
Mike

We've been busy enjoying Clown School, Forest School, Box Time, Hydro, Rebound Therapy, trips and visits, sensory play, and developing our play, communication, and independence skills and so much more.

We're so proud of all our pupils and everything they have achieved this year.
