The Sky Academy is a state funded special school for young people in years 5 – 11 who have an EHCP to support their SEMH and SCL needs. Based in Taunton our catchment of young people comes from those who live within a 75-minute drive across Somerset. At our core is a belief that every young person deserves the right to an educative experience that prepares them for adulthood and opens doors at Post 16. We do this by providing a targeted core curriculum that focuses in equal parts on literacy, numeracy, PSHCE, and PE in addition to a wider curriculum of Art, Science, careers and Life Skills. These areas are delivered as discreet subjects and offer the opportunity to gain a range of external accreditations as well as developing our young people’s mental and physical wellbeing. The curriculum at Sky is delivered both in and out of the classroom – with outdoor education, enrichment activities, forest school, art and development of emotional literacy and communication skills being an integral part of a young person’s experience.
The Sky Academy is part of CLF Trust. Further details can be found here: https://clf.uk/
