Tor View is an all through school, providing an ‘Outstanding’ education for children and young adults, aged 3 – 19 with a wide range of educational needs. Predominantly, we specialise in teaching children with learning difficulties, either moderate (MLD), severe (SLD) or profound and multiple (PMLD); many of our children have accompanying conditions such as Autism, Down Syndrome or Cerebral Palsy. All of our children attend school because they have complex and lifelong learning disabilities which means they need an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

Tor View School is very well equipped and benefits from a range of multi-sensory rooms, a hydrotherapy pool and a therapy dog, Ruby. Throughout the school, provision is made for pupils with additional needs arising from physical disabilities, sensory impairments and specific conditions including Autistic Spectrum Condition. In addition, the Academy has a specialist resource, the Intensive Support Centre (ISC) which accommodates young people with complex needs arising from behavioural and communication difficulties. Tor View also has a café, The Garage Café, which is open to the public and provides the learners with valuable work experience. As well as providing an ‘Outstanding’ education for its learners, Tor View is also a National Support School, has been a Teaching School since 2013 and has recently been designated as a Teaching School Hub.
