About WPT

At Wickersley Partnership Trust (WPT), we are fueled by a single commitment: 'We never do less for other people’s children than we would for our own.' As a thriving network of schools across South Yorkshire, we combine high expectations with an embedded commitment to inclusivity. We do not work in silos; instead, we rely on deep collaboration and school-to-school support to ensure every student develops socially, emotionally, and academically to achieve the highest standards.

 

The Trust currently operates several integrated Satellite Provisions for WPT students and Local Authority children and young people with Special Educational Needs, offering a bespoke curriculum and catering for students aged 3 through to 16. All satellite provisions are extensions of existing mainstream schools.  Magna Lane Integrated Resource is an SEMH resource based at Foljambe Primary School, in a newly refurbished, custom-built environment. Children access the resource if their presenting needs mean that they are unable to access the mainstream classroom. The resource replaces missing or distorted early nurturing experiences for pupils by immersing them in an accepting and warm environment, which helps develop positive relationships with both teachers and peers. Our very clear expectation is to achieve better outcomes for all our children and young people. Barriers to learning are addressed in order for the children to gradually reintegrate into their mainstream placement.
