More Than a School. A Place to Belong.

At Market Field School, we believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued and successful.

We are proud to be a welcoming and inclusive special school where children and young people are supported to develop confidence, independence and the skills they need for life. Every pupil is unique, and we celebrate the individuality, strengths and achievements of every member of our school community. Our pupils are at the centre of everything we do and every decision we make.

We are ambitious for all our learners and are committed to helping every child become the very best version of themselves. Through high-quality teaching, meaningful relationships and personalised support, we help pupils to overcome barriers, discover their talents and prepare for a fulfilling future.

"Our aim is simple: to help every child become the very best version of themselves."

The Values That Guide Us

Everything we do is underpinned by our three core values:

🤝 Respect

We treat everyone with kindness, dignity and understanding.

Respect means recognising that everyone is different and that every individual has something valuable to contribute. We help our pupils learn to understand themselves, appreciate others and become active members of their community.

⭐ Excellence

We believe that every child can achieve success.

Excellence is not about being better than others. It is about striving to be the best version of ourselves, embracing challenges, developing resilience and taking pride in our achievements. We celebrate progress in all its forms and encourage pupils to have high aspirations for their future.

💙 Friendship

Positive relationships are at the heart of school life.

We create opportunities for pupils to build trust, develop social understanding and form meaningful friendships. By fostering a sense of belonging, we help pupils feel confident, valued and connected to others.

Our Vision

Preparing Pupils for Life

Our vision extends beyond academic success.

We aim to equip every pupil with the knowledge, skills, confidence and personal qualities they need to lead fulfilling, rewarding and meaningful lives. Preparation for adulthood is woven throughout our curriculum and school experiences from the earliest years through to Key Stage 4.

We support pupils to:

✅ Communicate effectively

✅ Develop independence

✅ Build positive relationships

✅ Make informed choices

✅ Contribute to their community

✅ Develop employability skills

✅ Prepare for their next stage of education, training or adult life

✅ Enjoy fulfilling and rewarding lives

What This Looks Like Every Day

Our values are not just words on a page. They are lived and experienced every day through:

🏡 A nurturing and supportive environment where everyone feels safe, secure and valued

💬 Communication-rich classrooms where every pupil has a voice

🎯 Personalised learning pathways that recognise individual strengths and needs

⭐ High expectations and ambitious outcomes for every learner

🤝 Strong partnerships with families and professionals

🌍 Meaningful opportunities to participate in the wider community

🌱 Celebration of achievement, progress and personal success

These principles guide our curriculum, enrichment opportunities, relationships and decision-making across the school.

A School Family

At Market Field School, we are proud of the strong relationships that exist between pupils, families, staff, the School and Trust Governance and the wider community.

We believe that children achieve their best when home and school work together, and we value the trust that families place in us. By working in partnership, we create a supportive environment where pupils can flourish and develop the confidence to embrace future opportunities.

We are more than a school.

We are a community built on Respect, driven by Excellence and strengthened through Friendship. 💙
