Ofsted report, November 2011

A 38- week residential school for boys aged 7 -16 with a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome and other associated difficulties on the autistic spectrum.

For students living close to the school there is flexibility for day provision. Post-16 places are available at The Wing Centre in Bournemouth.

Admission can take place at any time during the school year.

We offer an AS-friendly primary and secondary education, broadly in line with the national Curriculum. We aim to teach self-management through the provision of a range of strategies that allow students to utilize their strengths and manage their difficulties successfully.

Everything we do is supported by a wide range of clinical and therapeutic inputs including:

  • Speech & Language Therapy
  • Behavioural Therapy
  • Occupational Therapy,
  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology

The school is located in the village of Boldre, close to the seaside resort of Lymington, so has the advantage of ready access to beautiful countryside, the coast and a sizeable town.

Its own extensive grounds contain an outdoor swimming pool, an angling lake and both grass and hard-court surfaces for recreation.

A Parent Liaison Officer is available to discuss, in confidence, a child’s specific needs and we are delighted to help with any questions or to arrange a visit to the school.
