The OCC is a nurturing base within The Waid Academy where learners can feel safe and learn, at their own speed, how to make progress in their social and emotional learning as well as academic achievement. We aim to help our learners build resilience and confidence to enable them to integrate into the wider school community. Our staff promote a family atmosphere where learners can trust and care for each other as well as learn life skills which will help them in the future. Individualised planning is undertaken for all learners and we encourage all of our children to reach for their goals with both hands and grab as many new experiences as possible.
