Welcome to Pegasus School
On behalf of our pupils, staff and Local School Board, I am delighted to welcome you to Pegasus School.
At Pegasus, our vision is simple and powerful: A Community Inspiring Ambitious Futures. This vision drives everything we do and reflects our commitment to creating a neuro-affirming and neuro-inclusive school where autistic children and young people are celebrated, understood and empowered to thrive.
Pegasus is a unique and vibrant special school where every pupil is valued for who they are. We recognise autism as a valuable part of human diversity and are committed to creating an environment where individuality is respected, strengths are celebrated and differences are embraced. From the moment you enter our school, you will experience a warm, welcoming and supportive atmosphere where children and young people feel safe, respected and able to be themselves.
Our aim is not to change autistic children but to understand them. We work hard to identify and remove barriers to learning, communication, participation and independence, ensuring that every pupil can access meaningful opportunities and achieve success in ways that are right for them. Through a personalised approach, we support pupils to develop confidence, self-advocacy and the skills they need to lead fulfilling and rewarding lives.
Our highly skilled and caring staff team places the rights, needs and aspirations of pupils at the centre of everything we do. We believe that ambitious futures begin with high expectations, strong relationships and a genuine understanding of each child’s unique strengths and potential.
Partnership is fundamental to our success. We value the expertise of families and work closely with parents, carers and a wide range of professionals to ensure every pupil receives the support they need to flourish. Together, we create a community where children and young people can thrive, learn, achieve and belong.
Our school principles guide our daily actions and interactions:
- Be Safe
- Be Respectful
- Be Responsible
- Be Kind
These principles help us create a calm, supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
Alongside our school principles, our values shape the culture and character of SGS Pegasus School.
Children First We put children at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that every child feels safe, valued, listened to and able to communicate their needs in ways that are meaningful to them.
Building Our Community We create an inclusive, kind and empathetic environment where everyone belongs. By celebrating autism and embracing neurodiversity, we foster a strong community where people learn, grow and succeed together.
Wellbeing and Growth We prioritise emotional wellbeing and mental health, recognising that children learn best when they feel safe, secure and understood. We celebrate progress, perseverance and personal growth in every learner.
Ambition and Achievement We maintain high expectations for all pupils and support every child to reach their full potential. We are committed to preparing our young people for adulthood and inspiring ambitious futures for themselves and their communities.
Engaging Learning We inspire curiosity, creativity and a love of learning through meaningful, exciting and accessible experiences that enable every pupil to participate, succeed and develop confidence in their abilities.
We are incredibly proud of our pupils and all they achieve. Through our vision of “A Community Inspiring Ambitious Futures”, we work together to ensure that every child and young person is equipped with the knowledge, skills, confidence and self-belief needed to thrive now and in the future.
