Our Vision

Portfield School provides specialist autism education, with the aim of empowering each and every student to achieve their full potential. Our focus is on equipping our learners with the necessary skills for every stage of their lives. We believe in exploring the potential of each student and tailoring their curriculum to meet their individual needs and stage of learning. This includes academic, social, physical, moral, and spiritual aspects.

Our Mission

Raising aspirations for every student. Providing a broad, balanced, relevant and flexible curriculum. Teaching in a way that motivates, engages and inspires a love of learning. Offering learning beyond the school walls. Endeavoring to discover innovative approaches that enable students to access every opportunity. Working in partnership with parents, carers and professionals to secure the best support for each student.

Our Values

We believe that every student can achieve success. Our diverse community is built on the values we share – Resilience, Partnership, Courage, Care and Curiosity. We embrace and celebrate the differences among us, recognising them as the individual gifts that make each person truly unique.

Resilience

Throughout their school journey, students learn important skills such as effective communication, collaboration with others, emotional literacy, building and maintaining healthy relationships, and fostering independence.
