About the School
Located in Worcestershire (WR7), this SEND school holds a secure Ofsted Good rating and is recognised for its calm, regulation-led approach to learning. The school supports pupils with autism, sensory processing differences, and emotional regulation needs, using predictable routines and low-arousal environments to promote engagement.
