Fortuna is a purpose built, Local Education Authority special school that caters for primary aged children whose emotional and behavioural difficulties have prevented their educational needs being met in a mainstream school.
We strongly believe in the power of the expressive arts; dance, drama, music and art in raising the children’s self-awareness and esteem and in allowing them alternative means of learning about themselves and expressing their feelings. As a school we follow the nurture curriculum which:
Recognises that the children may be emotionally and socially functioning as much younger children and need to consolidate their early learning experiences within school.
Enables children to acquire the necessary skills to play and interact constructively within their peer group.
Meets the developmental needs of the “whole” child.
