Welcome to Briarwood School
Briarwood’s purpose built Sixth Form Centre caters for 16-19 year olds with Profound and Multiple Learning difficulties (PMLD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), and students on the Autistic Spectrum (ASD). We benefit from, a common room, food tech facilities, onsite independent living space, and work experience café.The Sixth Form Centre includes students that started their education journey with Briarwood, however we invite pupils who have started their journey elsewhere to visit and apply for a placement. The main requirement to offer a place to your young person is a statement of educational needs or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Admissions are made through Bristol City Council SEN department.
