Welcome to our website where we hope you will find lots of useful information.  

The Milestone School is a community Special School that provides for approximately 290 children with a wide range of special educational needs. The school delivers The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and National Curriculum modified as appropriate for individual need, and as part of a wide range of curriculum activities devised to support pupils to achieve their maximum learning, personal and social potential.  We deliver learning through an active learning curriculum which incorporates lots of fun as well as new experiences.

Where appropriate, links with mainstream schools are developed through joint projects across the key stages. Our integration programme is for Early Years pupil identified as ready to transfer into a mainstream school setting, and provides support throughout the transition process.

By virtue of its distinctive blend of expertise, facilities and resources, The Milestone School plays a significant role in the network of services the Local Authority provides to meet the special educational needs of pupils in Gloucestershire. The school provides advice and support for teachers and support workers of pupils with physical and learning disabilities in mainstream school through its Outreach and Training service.

The Milestone School was awarded Specialist School status in July 2008.  The school's specialist areas are Communication and Interaction.
