David Lewis School

Our school is a mixed day and residential, non-maintained special school. From September 2022, we have been pleased to open our doors to students from 11 years – providing leading education and care for young people from 11-19 years with learning difficulties, disabilities and complex needs, including moderate to profound learning disabilities, neurological conditions, including epilepsy, autism and associated communication and sensory impairments, behavioural and health needs. https://youtu.be/doh677cZpP4

Our flexible and personalised curriculum allows learners to study on a day, weekly boarder or residential basis, anything from 38 weeks term time only to a full 52 week residential placement. We provide support for learners as per assessed need.

We offer a truly holistic learning environment and residential “Waking Day Curriculum” with access to on-campus therapists, medical specialists and specially trained staff.

We have a wide ranging curriculum with access to excellent learning facilities on our large campus. Teaching takes place in small groups and teaching methods are always differentiated to meet the needs of every learner. Every student learns differently and we pride ourselves on our differentiation of learning and inclusive approach. The majority of learners graduate from the school to our college on the same site, or to our adult provisions.
