Samuel Cody Specialist Sports College provides for secondary age pupils with learning difficulties. We challenge individual pupils to achieve their highest potential in both academic and personal development. This is encouraged in a cheerful and supportive environment where every pupil is valued for their strengths. Different learning styles are encompassed with visual, aural and kinaesthetic delivery actively utilised. We know happy pupils will achieve high standards and this is shown in our excellent Value Added Score (top 5% of all colleges).
Samuel Cody is committed to maintaining and building upon its outstanding provision for children with a variety of special needs.
Through the provision of a safe, secure and happy environment pupils are challenged to develop their learning in order to realise their full potential. Our aim is to develop the skills and attributes of independence, confidence and self worth in each individual. This will enable them to take up a valuable place within the world in which we live.
Samuel Cody continues to work within the community to provide expertise and support for the development of all young people. We promote a wide range of health and wellbeing opportunities for all members of the community.

Before Samuel Cody died he married twice. His first wife had to end her performing career due to an illness. At this time Samuel Cody went back to America and married a lady called Mrs King, even though he was still married to his first wife.

Samuel Cody covers the catchment area of Rushmoor & Hart. We also have pupils from other boroughs and those who join us from across the County borders. All pupils must have a Statement of Educational Needs.
Our school welcomes a wide range of special needs. We operate a full secondary timetable and stress the importance of all round learning. All pupils have strengths which we seek to challenge to the highest levels whilst at the same time supporting things youngsters are not so strong at.
A firm belief that children learn by doing, seeing, feeling, hearing as well as the traditional methods is central to the provision at Samuel Cody. Safe, secure and happy children learn and to this end we value and respect the worth of everyone in our school. |
