We believe in the limitless potential of all our students and we strive to ensure that every young person is successful in achieving their own personal goals through appropriate personalised support and guidance.
The well-being, personal development, progress and success of every child at Tadcaster Grammar School requires:
- A child centred approach;
- An environment where staff can collaborate and develop professionally to improve the quality of provision;
- The open exchange of information and the sharing of expertise;
- Working together with parents, carers and outside agencies to develop plans of support.

- Short-term pathways of support that develop social and emotional skills and facilitate students’ holistic development;
- Limited provisions for short-term, timed intervention which complement the support provided through a student’s timetable;
- Physical, medical and sensory support where appropriate, working with outside agencies.
