Welcome to Mill Ford School
On behalf of our children, staff and governors welcome to our website. Mill Ford is a school with a specialism in meeting the needs of children and young adults with complex needs, including severe and profound and multiple learning difficulties, complex medical needs and autistic spectrum conditions. As Headteacher I am immensely proud to be leading an amazing team for whom our children and young people are the centre and reason for all we do. Our priority is always the children and young people; ensuring they can be as independent as they are able now and in the future. This commitment has been recognised by a number of external bodies, namely Thrive, Investors in Families and National Online Safety, as well as receiving autism accreditation from the National Autistic Society and being seen as communication accessible by Communication Access UK.
