As we reach the end of another incredible academic year, we’ve been reflecting on the amazing memories we’ve made together over the last few weeks.

🏅 Sports Day brought out fantastic teamwork, determination and lots of smiles as pupils challenged themselves and celebrated each other’s successes.

🎉 Our Celebration Day was packed with excitement and fun! From the wonderful sounds of King Brass, energetic dodgeball, and unforgettable karaoke performances, to cooling off in the splash zone, meeting a range of visiting animals, and enjoying the inflatables – it was a truly special day full of laughter, fun and happy memories.

🚌 We’ve also enjoyed a fantastic variety of end-of-year trips, with pupils making memories at local parks, trampoline parks and even enjoying a day out in Skegness. These experiences have provided opportunities for adventure, friendship and celebrating a successful year.

✨ One of the highlights of the year was our Prom, where pupils dressed to impress and danced the evening away. It was wonderful to see everyone come together for an evening of fun and celebration, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

We are so proud of our amazing pupils and everything they have achieved this year. 💙

As another academic year comes to a close, we’d like to thank our families, staff and wider community for their continued support throughout the year.

🌟 What a way to end the academic year! We wish all of our pupils and families a safe, happy and well-deserved summer break.

🥳 Celebration Day

✨What an unforgettable day at Curve! ✨

Today, our incredible group of 15 students took to the stage and moved the entire audience to tears with their powerful performance of The Climb. Through Dance, Drama and British Sign Language, they shared a message straight from their hearts:

“Look at what we CAN do, not what we can’t.”

One of the most emotional moments came when they broke through a banner reading “You can’t do that” and the audience erupted into cheers. Soon, the whole theatre was signing along with them.💪🏼

Our amazing Bronze and Silver Award students kept the celebration going, getting everyone clapping along with their brilliant disco moves.🪩🕺🏼

Michelle summed it up perfectly:
“I am always proud of our students, but today they were phenomenal and made me cry with pride.”

💛 What a day. What a team.

“I am happy with the new assessment and tracking system. My son seems very happy at school and appears to be making good progress. The teachers seemed very knowledgeable about my son’s abilities and when to push him. I would like to comment on his next IEP before it is finalised.”

“The provision has been outstanding in every way and the staff are brilliant with strategies to ensure progress is made in all areas of my son’s school life. We couldn’t ask for anything more!”

“I was very impressed with how positive ad enthusiastic all staff were tonight (as always). Especially impressed with all the efficient, colour coded information on my sons progress and it’s equivalent grade in GCSE.”
