Mary Rose Academy (Solent)

A very warm welcome to the Mary Rose Academy

We are a special school for approximately 195 pupils aged 2-19 years, situated across three sites in Portsmouth. We provide a highly specialist, personalised curriculum for young people with the most profound, severe and complex learning difficulties. In addition, the majority of pupils have co-occurring needs including: Autism Spectrum Condition, severe physical disabilities and highly complex medical conditions. We seek to prepare every member of our community for the next significant phase in their lives, whatever that might be, at every age and stage, putting our pupils and their families at the core of all that we do.

When we make decisions the first questions we ask are:

"How will our pupils and families benefit?" and "What impact will this have for life beyond Mary Rose?"

At every turn, we hold our core values, represented by our Mascots, front and centre:

Relationships are at the heart of what we do.

Engagement is invested in, planned for and celebrated.

Communication is personalised, developed, learned from and listened to.

Perserverance is respected, recognised and supported.

Independence is prioritised and built upon over time.

Aspiration is meaningful, championed and admired.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
