2. Charitable Objectives
Our objective is to transform the lives of young people and their families by proviaing specialist
education, therapeutic support and residential care and in particular by providing a school at

others can benefit from our work and we can continue to learn from thern.
To achieve this, we have developed a Quality of ￿fe (QOL) framework and approach which is
designed to improve outcomes for our students and their families. This underpins our ethos,
uliure and daiW practi￿ and also infoms our curriculum, operational and strategic planning.
As a natural consequence of this our Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) self-evaluation is

WWS Goal I: For the school to be full each year; 30
places to be residential
This revised strategic goal recognises that
50% of school places being residential is not
viable without slgnlflcant investment In new
residential buihjings. This is why the number
has been reduced to 30 whth is also more
realistic within the current polFtical climate
where LAS are looking to find school p￿S
closer to home for as many students as
possible.
By fts very nature the situation regardlng
adrnissions to the School remain5 a slow and
protracted process due to the complexity of
student profiles and funding impllcations for
LAS. However the school is as helpful to
families as possible while also working close

constraints.
