Sherwood Foundation School is a Foundation Special School located in the London Borough of Sutton and made up of three campuses:
Sherwood Park Campus: This is a specialist school for learners aged 3 - 19 years who have severe, multiple and complex learning difficulties and/or disabilities. This includes learners who have highly complex access needs resulting from their physical and/or health conditions. All learners require high levels of adult support to access learning.
Sherwood Hill Campus: This is a specialist school for autistic learners aged 3 - 19 years who have multiple and complex barriers to learning, requiring high levels of support to access education and learning around their peers. Many of our learners may also have severe learning difficulties and /or struggle to maintain a regulated state for learning.
Sherwood Manor Campus: This is a specialist school primarily for Autistic learners aged 11 - 19 years who have moderate to severe barriers to learning. Most of our pupils can access a highly adapted formal learning environment with high levels of adult support. Some of our learners struggle to deal with the demands of or become highly anxious in an adult led learning environment so may need a highly individualised learning offer to meet their academic potential.
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 regulated in order that they can achieve their best. Sherwood Foundation School is a warm and friendly school, with high aspirations for our fantastic pupils.
