St Ann’s School is an outstanding secondary special school in Ealing with students with the most complex disabilities including profound and multiple learning and physical disabilities, severe learning difficulties and complex autism. The school works with a wide variety of young people. One of the cohorts are students with behaviours that challenge, working to develop their regulation skills to be able to participate in their communities. Another cohort are students with complex physical and learning disabilities and our focus is to enable them to be as independent as possible.
