About Le Murier Special Needs Secondary School
Le Murier Special Needs Secondary School is collocated with the mainstream school, sharing a central block of facilities including a sports hall, six-lane swimming pool, gym, climbing wall, changing rooms and covered atrium.
Outdoor grass and synthetic sports pitches are shared between the two schools and will be available for community use out of school hours.
Le Murier can accommodate up to 130 pupils with a range of learning difficulties between the ages of 11 and 16, although in some cases pupils may stay on until they are 19. Le Murier has its own entrance, headteacher, teaching and social facilities and identity but its collocation with St Sampson’s High School allows all pupils and staff from both schools to interact, share resources, expertise, teaching and learning strategies and best practice as well as helping to break down preconceived ideas about the different types of disability and difficulty. The collocation of the two schools on the same site will encourage pupils to live and work together in school and help prepare them to play a full part in society and Island life
