Vale of Evesham School

Our Vision Statement

As a special school in Evesham we intend to develop as a centre of excellence for children with special needs that will serve both the children in our school and the local community of Evesham and Pershore.

We will do this by sharing our good practice, in curriculum and teaching strategies for pupils with SEN, with our colleagues in mainstream schools and we will develop as an extended service school and provide a facility which supports Children's Services in the delivery of integrated services for children in the community.
