From the The Grantham Sandon School
Ambergate Sports College and Sandon School, two Grantham-based schools, are included in the Grantham Additional Needs Fellowship. We serve students with complex needs and moderate to severe learning challenges between the ages of 3 and 19. The needs of our students are diverse; many of them are on the autism spectrum, while others have ADHD, developmental delays of different severity, and even profound and multiple learning disabilities. At GANF, we're always working to make our students' lives better through their surroundings and experiences. The Fellowship's curricula are designed to help students become proficient users of reading, communication, and mathematics in all facets of daily life. The growth of our students' spiritual, moral, social, and cultural values runs through all of the experiences they have and learn from. We really hope that this website contains all the information you require; nevertheless, if not, do not hesitate to contact either school with your inquiry. I appreciate your attention. Community Inclusive Trust includes GANF. Please click www.citacademies.co.uk to access their website.
