swiss cottage school - development & research centre
London
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Swiss Cottage School, Development and
Research Centre, a community-maintained special needs school in the London
Borough of Camden. We are committed to providing the best education. Our school
community is passionate and create innovative learning opportunities to promote
holistic development. We are in a specialist school building designed by experts
and architects through the Department for Education's 'Building Schools for the
Future' initiative. Our teams have worked hard to design and embed our
research-informed curriculum which emphasises ‘Deep Learning’ by responding to
each student’s point of learning. There is a range of expertise throughout this
school, from our highly skilled teachers and teaching assistants to a range of
teams and leaders. Together, we ensure every child’s needs are met. Our teachers
lead their class team through shared goals which are informed by parents,
families, NHS Therapists, CAMHS professionals, and the Multi-agency Support
Team. We place this vision at the heart of an integrated provision that values
the power of partnerships and collaboration. Our mission across the 2022-2023
academic year is an authentic focus on reducing the impacts of the pandemic on
our vulnerable community. We have formal partnerships for this academic year to
enhance the role of our pupils within the local community, and to equally bring
the world into the classroom through a whole school immersive technology. We are
also working with key organisations through our Centre of Excellence to develop
inclusion in mainstream schools, train future teachers, support the professional
development of educators, and collaborate on research initiatives. We share a
range of information about our school through this accessible website. Contact
us if you are interested in learning more about the school provision, connecting
with our community, or working together. Together we can shape the inclusive
society we all seek.
