ABOUT US

Staff are highly trained and strong interdisciplinary team work enables pupils and the Blackpool Community to benefit from this expertise.

We have an excellent tradition of support and parental partnership. The school endeavours to work with parents on all aspects of the child’s and family welfare to provide comprehensive support.

Much of this work covers housing, inter-agency co-operation, transition, respite care and involvement of charity and voluntary organisation.

We constantly seek to answer these questions in our work together:

• Do we really believe we are maximising the achievement of every child?
• Do we think that Highfurlong is doing as well as it could?
• Does the school have an infinite capacity for improvement?
• Can the improvement we have seen in school standards over the past decade be extended and enhanced?
• Can we carry on doing what we have been doing and still manage to meet the needs of those young people who are achieving the least within the current system?
• Where can we see future practice in the present – what are people doing together to change practice?
