Welcome to Abbot’s Lea School

Abbot’s Lea School is an outstanding maintained community special school that provides the highest quality of education for just over 270 students living with Autism and a range of associated communication, interaction, social, imagination, sensory and learning differences.

I feel honoured to be our school’s Headteacher and, together with my fantastic team of some 140 staff, we work tirelessly to ensure that we offer the best education and care to our students and support to their families and the wider community.

I have always practised an ‘open door’ policy and so I really encourage you to take advantage of this and, should you wish to make an appointment to see me, please contact my PA, Mrs E Kelly on pa@abbotsleaschool.co.uk.

I also warmly encourage you to find out more about our school’s daily updates by following us on  Facebook and X: @AbbotsLeaSchool and to tune into our Head’s Weekly Newsletter which aims to keep you updated with the life of the school each Friday.

For all admission enquiries, please note that we are a maintained school and so, admissions are managed by Liverpool City Council SEND Team – contact: sen.team@liverpool.gov.uk (this applies to all admissions, including those from other local authorities).
