- Welcome to The Village School
It takes a village to raise a child
Our school is a specialist setting for 315 pupils with complex needs. We are a learning community of three villages for children aged 3 to 19.
The Village School caters for those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. All pupils have an education, health and care plan. Most pupils have severe or profound needs. Many have additional needs, such as medical conditions or are on the autistic spectrum. Pupils come from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, cultures and faiths, reflecting the local community. The proportion of pupils who are supported through the pupil premium is above average.
Six classes are based at the neighbouring Kingsbury High School and three at the nearby Hope Centre.
There are more than 200 highly trained and experienced staff at TVS, including teachers, teaching assistants, personal care staff, lunchtime supervisors, therapists, administration and technical staff, site management and family workers.
We believe in a transdisciplinary approach to supporting pupils, an exciting curriculum emphasising developing communication skills and independence, a focus on the Arts, physical development and enrichment opportunities, including practice and preparation for adult life. This provides excellent opportunities for our pupils to be included and contribute to the wider community.
Our aim is to develop personalised pathways for our pupils so that their needs and aspirations can be met.
