Admissions Statement

SGS Pegasus School is a special free school which provides places for children who have a primary diagnosis of autism. All children require an Education Health Care (EHC) plan.

At SGS Pegasus School our vision is to develop the whole child by creating a bespoke learning experience that celebrates their talents and successes. We aim to involve pupils, parents and staff in a supportive, aspirational and caring environment. We will positively promote and nurture the academic, moral, social, emotional, physical and creative growth of the children in our care. Our school’s belief is that an ASC diagnosis will not limit our children’s potential to succeed.

South Gloucestershire Local Authority has a range of maintained specialist provisions that support pupils with complex learning difficulties, severe learning difficulties and behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. For more information regarding these provisions, please follow this link:

• Special schools for children with special educational needs

At SGS Pegasus School, our curriculum is tailored to meet our children’s individual academic, social, emotional and physical needs. We believe every learning opportunity should enable children to develop as; healthy, independent individuals, ethically informed citizens, ambitious, innovative learners and resilient self-regulators. Our school provides a learning experience which is highly personalised and reduces the barriers to learning that often prevent pupils with autism achieving their potential.

At SGS Pegasus School we have four values that underpin all we do. We are:

1. SAFE and sensible at all times;
2. RESPECTFUL of our staff, each other and ourselves;
3. RESPONSIBLE for learning, attitude and actions;
4. KIND to ourselves, others and our school.

Families are key partners in supporting learning and we ensure regular, effective two-way communications on all aspects of school life including social behaviour, interaction and the learning progress.
