About the school
This specialist SEN school for students aged 11-19 with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is committed to preparing young people for life beyond education. The school provides a broad academic foundation enriched by tailored interventions, therapeutic support, and, for some, access to a residential "waking day" curriculum. Emotional well being is prioritised alongside learning, with a strong focus on enabling students to become confident, independent, and aspirational young adults. Close collaboration with families and a dedicated team of specialist staff underpin the school's mission to support lifelong learning, community contribution, and personal growth.
