1. School

Southfield is a generic special school based at the Southfield Grange Campus in Bradford. Currently graded good with outstanding features in March 2015.

Description

Southfield School came into existence in April 2010 as part of the Bradford District reorganisation of special schools. We moved into our new building to form the Southfield Grange Campus in June 2011. Southfield is a 'generic' special school, which means that we provide a specialist educational provision across a wide spectrum of learning difficulties and complex disabilities. In September 2013 the school converted to become a Special Academy under the control of the Southfield Grange Trust. Southfield School comprises two elements: the main school, which is part of the Southfield Grange building, and the Pathfinder Vocational Centre (PVC) on the other side of Haycliffe Lane, which provides specialist education and training aimed at providing pathways for life after school for our sixth form students. We have on-site support from other professionals including Speech and Language Therapists, the School Nursing team, Physiotherapy teams as well as support from Social Care and other services. Our school also enjoys close links with education, leisure, sporting and commercial organisations across the locality and we are keen to actively promote these partnerships for the benefit of the children in our care. Currently, we cater for approximately 240 students with a wide range of complex and individual needs. This includes 80 in the Pathfinder Vocational Centre and up to 8 at our Project SEARCH site at Bradford Royal Infirmary. In March 2015, Southfield received an Ofsted grading of good with outstanding features. You can read more about this, including the full report on our Ofsted page. We are an open and approachable school that welcomes all new students, their parents and carers and other visitors. If you would like to visit us or if you want to discuss any issues in greater detail, please contact us. Right from the start of the planning for Southfield School, our parents and carers have been clear about what the school should be trying to help the student to achieve.  Ranked in order of importance, these are our parents and carers priorities: 1) All children feeling safe and happy 2) Developing confidence and independence skills 3) Coping skills for dealing with change and developments in their lives 4) Life skills for the challenges of complex social settings 5) Achievements in formal education at an appropriate level to their ability
