The success of Apollo 1 & 2 has been recognised and shared by the National Association for Special Education Needs in their monthly magazine. The special school-led satellite model of education providing pathways for children with SEND, is being pioneered by Dysart School with the successful opening of Apollo 1 in 2019 and Apollo 2 this term.

In an article ‘Satellite model of education – Thinking differently at Dysart School’  published in the September 2021 edition of NASEN Connect Magazine, the Principal of Dysart School, Leigh Edser writes:
