About the SEND School

This SEND school caters for students with SEMH aged 5 - 19. They are a well-equipped school with excellent leadership across their schools that provides a positive and safe learning environment for their children. Their provision for post-16 allows for their students to learn skills for independent living and life beyond school, which could be to prepare them for work or college life. The work they do is essential, and you will have an opportunity to be a part of something very special!
