Queen’s Croft is a 200-place secondary special school for students aged 11-19 with Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD). It is one of the largest special schools in the area. Our cohort of students have a range of Special Educational needs with their primary area of learning being cognition and learning, and communication and interaction. Many of our pupils have needs such as autism, ADHD, and global developmental delay. Students primarily live in Lichfield, Rugeley, Tamworth, Cannock and Stafford, but also travel from surrounding areas such as Walsall and Birmingham.
We are part of the Primitas Learning Partnership, which is a near medium sized academy trust. Queen’s Croft is the only special school within the trust. We are part of a family of six other schools: four mainstream primary schools, and two mainstream secondary schools.
