Vale of Evesham School   

At Vale of Evesham School we are developing to become a centre of excellence, serving pupils with special needs, not only in our school but the wider community.

To achieve this we will be sharing our excellent practice, in curricular and teaching and learning strategies, with our colleagues in mainstream schools. We are also developing as an extended service school, providing a facility which supports Children’s Services, in the delivery of integrated services for pupils within the community.
