Addington School is an Outstanding Special School for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. All our pupils’ primary need is a learning difficulty that is either moderate, severe or profound, with up to 50 percent also having Autism.
All our pupils have an Education and Health Care Plan and we are currently accommodating up to 290 pupils, aged between 3 and 19 years across 2 sites.
Based in Woodley and Farley Hill and currently a Wokingham maintained school, we are very fortunate to have 2 purpose built environments which make our schools fantastic places for learning and wider curriculum enrichment. At Farley Hill, we have a new 40 place Nursery to Year 1 Early Years Centre that admitted 16 new pupils in September 23. We will admit a further 16 in September 24, and a further 8 in September 25 to complete the 40 place provision.
We tailor a personalised Educational Programme for every pupil to ensure that they reach their full potential as well as providing a bespoke sequential curriculum steeped in SEND pedagogy. The school has a long history of being outstanding and in March 2023 secured Outstanding again under the new Ofsted Framework.
We have particular strengths in our Creative Arts with Music a particular focus for all our students and have considerable expertise in teaching strategies for pupils with learning difficulties as well as Autism and Down Syndrome.
