Welcome to Kingfisher Special School’s website, the only Primary School in Oldham for children with complex and severe learning needs. We pride ourselves on being a place of learning for both pupils and staff and are constantly researching and updating the ways in which the children access their learning, ensuring the best possible outcomes for each and every child.

The tree above illustrates the clear vision and values that we work towards within school, ensuring that all children are safe, happy learners. As part of Kingfisher Learning Trust, Kingfisher Special School encompasses the Trust’s vision of ‘Endless Possibilities’, working creatively to find the best possible approaches in all aspects of its provision. With the support of the school staff, we endeavour to create optimum learning environments that match the learning needs of all children whilst offering an exciting, creative curriculum which allows them to learn in the best way possible.

From September 2021 we will also be opening our new Ducklings Nursery which will be for 2 year old children who need the specialist provision that Kingfisher Special School can offer them.

I hope you all enjoy looking around the website and find it useful in gaining a clear insight into what we have to offer at Kingfisher Special School. There is also a virtual tour in the ‘Welcome to Kingfisher’ link above.

I look forward to continuing to work with families – present and future – and making sure that Kingfisher Special School continues to offer outstanding provision to meet the needs of all the children.

Many Thanks,

Sue Caine
