Higford School

“Higford School has been open since September 2007. During this time it has developed into a truly unique service that offers fantastic personalised education and care for children and young people with autism, challenging behaviour and additional complex difficulties. The facilities on site enable the students to spend time with the education, care and clinical teams in developing confidence and skills to prepare for adulthood. I am excited at the prospect of continuing the development of the service to further enhance the learning opportunities offered.”
