From the Watermill School
The school has been meticulously designed to address the academic, social, physical, and emotional needs of a broad spectrum of students, aged 3 to 16. This includes a variety of specialised classrooms, halls, outdoor spaces, and a hydrotherapy pool. Offering part-time college courses and accreditations that are applicable to our students' futures will help us continue to prepare our students for the outside world, and we'll make sure to provide the younger students with the foundation they need to lead successful lives after they graduate from Watermill School. Every kid at the school experiences some sort of learning difficulty. This could include mild, moderate, severe, physical, and various learning issues in addition to autism. Primary-aged children with behavioural challenges who are referred to our specialised Inspire Pupil Referral Unit have the chance to acquire the skills necessary to transition back into regular classrooms or to be evaluated for further special education opportunities. Every student entering the main body of the school receives a statement for Special Educational Needs or an Education Health and Care Plan established by the Local Authority. Call 01782-236893 if you'd like further details. Any written information you require can be provided to you without charge by the institution. Please ask at the front desk.
