The page links to the Kirklees Local Offer for children and young people aged 0–25 with SEND and describes the education, health, and social-care information it provides.

“The Local Offer provides information for children and young people aged 0 – 25 years who have special educational needs or disabilities. It provides information about various services across Kirklees that are available for these children and young people in education, health and social care.”

A whole-school programme teaches self-regulation and skills for supporting mental wellbeing.

“We have embedded the myHappymind programme across school to teach our children the science behind their thought and behaviour processes and give them the skills and knowledge to develop their self-regulation and successfully support their mental wellbeing.”

A twelve-pupil Happiness Heroes team supports peers' wellbeing.

“We have set up our own Happiness Heroes team to spread happiness around school and support others with their wellbeing through techniques such as Happy Breathing. Our myHappymind representatives consist of twelve children.”

The school's core values are Friendship, Compassion, Peace, Justice and Endurance.

“Our core values of Friendship, Compassion, Peace, Justice and Endurance underpin everything that we do.”
