Based in Wallington, this specialist SEN school provides for pupils aged 4-19 with severe learning disabilities (SLD), Autism and significant social and emotional difficulties which affect their ability to cope with daily activities. Some students have limited mobility and use wheelchairs, so experience supporting students with physical disabilities is highly desirable. At this school, you will be part of a very creative and safe learning environment where the school prioritises the well-being of their staff. This very creative setting has specialist music, art and drama rooms as well as a wonderful outdoor space.
