The school meets the needs of a diverse group of pupils with special educational needs including speech, language and communication difficulties, autism, ADHD, and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties. Recently rated Outstanding by Ofsted, the school continues to go from strength to strength.

Our clinicians are a crucial part of the most joined-up model in SEND. Across all of our specialist schools and children's homes, we provide unrivalled levels of clinical support, both in terms of our expertise and breadth of provision. Our young people present with a complexity of need including developmental trauma, neuro-developmental conditions, and special educational needs.
