Sherwood Park School

Sherwood Park School is an all age foundation special school, which consists of two campuses, Sherwood Park Campus in Wallington, which provides for pupils with profound and multiple learning disabilities and severe learning disabilities and

Sherwood Hill Campus in Carshalton, which provides for pupils with autism and severe learning disabilities and / or significant social and emotional difficulties that effect their capacity to cope across daily activities.

A key focus of our curriculum is to provide learning experiences that will develop the whole child / young person to be as independent as possible, gain skills and knowledge that will prepare them for adulthood and an enriching life.

All of our children have an Education Health and Care Plan and often have a number of dedicated professionals working with them in order to support them to reach their potential - we are very proud of our trans-disciplinary approach and place great emphasis on supporting our pupils to feel safe, well and emotionally regulated in order that they can achieve their best.

Sherwood Park School is a warm and friendly school, with high aspirations for our fantastic pupils.

Sherwood Park is a Foundation special school for learners aged between 3 and 19 years that have Severe/Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties and/or disabilities (SLD/PMLD), as well as learners who, additionally, are on the Autistic Spectrum (ASD) with complex needs.

But it is so much more than that. The Sherwood Park and Sherwood Hill campuses are unique learning communities – unique because they constantly develop and grow to meet the highly individualised needs of each of the learners. The rich curriculum and strong teaching, delivered through the integrated approach of our teaching, therapy and nursing teams reflect and ensure the achievement of the aspirations and outcomes of all of our young people - from the moment they embark on their learning journey to the point they transition to adulthood. We value each of our learners for the individuals they are and celebrate achievement at every opportunity.

And we are truly a community, with everyone contributing to the development and wellbeing of our learners – our wonderful parents, carers, families and Governors, as well as other professionals and our many supportive partners.
