We are in a new state of the art building with excellent facilities and extensive grounds and it goes without saying the children are ‘amazing’.

Previous experience within a special needs setting is desirable but not essential. Visits during the school day are actively encouraged. Please request a visit by contacting Sabrina Prempeh (Senior Administration Officer) at hr@cherrygardenschool.co.uk.
