The new school opens in January 2019 and is designed drawing on all  of our experience of creating a suitable environment which is attuned to  child-centred learning. With dedicated therapists at school, you would  have the opportunity to join a team focused on the best possible  outcomes for each and every child, and ultimately transition into  partner schools in the region.
