Beatlie School and Early Learning and Childcare meets the needs of children from 3 – 18 with profound and complex disabilities. The Head Teacher, along with the Principal Teachers work very closely to ensure the highest quality learning and teaching opportunities for all children. In recent years there has been a strong focus on ensuring learning and teaching is provided at an appropriate developmental level, embedding sensory learning and introducing a play-based curriculum.
