Welcome to Stingray Class

Stingray is a Key Stage 3 class in Middle School. Our timetable includes English, Maths, RHSE, Topic and Science. Alongside this, learners will develop their communication and independence, supported by all staff in the classroom and in our outdoor spaces. Learners will be supported to recognise different emotions and benefit from regular check-ins throughout the day. Staff will support learners to identify appropriate strategies to enable them to regulate and access their learning.
