Lampard Community School is a successful, oversubscribed special school for pupils aged 5 - 16 years who have significant needs related to communication and interaction. Many have a diagnosis of autism and/or have needs relating to speech, language and communication. Our students have a complex profile of needs as outlined in their Education Health Care Plan.
