This is achieved by:
- Provision of a broad, balanced curriculum.
- Development of individual behaviour management programmes.
- Writing and maintaining Individual Education Plans.
- Target setting.
- Small classes with dedicated, experienced staff.
- Home Liaison Officer works closely with all carers/parents in partnership.
Crookhey Hall School works closely with all stakeholders to ensure that the individual needs of each child are met consistently.

A nurture unit is available to support young people with particular social/emotional needs and the school benefits from the Acorn Care and Education Health and Therapy team.
