Things to note

Learning Support
Learning Support at Calday is provided for students with additional educational needs so that they can take a full part in school life and fulfil their potential as successful, independent learners. Many aspects of a student’s school life, whilst not fitting the definition of Special Educational Needs, clearly constitute individual needs from that particular student’s point of view.

LGBTQ+
The school is currently working towards the Rainbow Flag Award which means that we are committed to improving the lives of all young people we work with, through a focussed initiative to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBTQ+) inclusion
