First Federation Trust
As a school we are part of the First Federation Trust. The First Federation schools aim to be fully inclusive school communities and to involve all members of the community in decision-making and policy development. We regard staff, parents and pupils as undertaking a joint enterprise to make learning exciting and positive for all of us. We are all members of a team working cooperatively to this end. The expertise of parents and carers is highly valued.
More details about our provision for children with special educational needs and disabilities, as well as children with special medical needs, including the Trust's approach, policies, what Devon offers and other useful information is available on the First Federation website here.
