Lift Wishmore is a nurturing and ambitious school for students aged 7–16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, including Autism and ADHD. Currently serving 90 boys, we are excited to become a co-educational school from September 2025, with plans to expand our junior provision and grow to 120 pupils over the next four years.
Our vibrant, purpose-built campus — including a new junior building — offers a visually inspiring and inclusive learning environment. We deliver a tailored curriculum designed to meet diverse needs, with a strong focus on reading, core academic subjects, and engaging GCSE options such as Business & Enterprise, Food & Nutrition, and Art.
Therapeutic support is central to our approach. Working in partnership with Surrey County Council, the National Autistic Society, and using the Thrive Approach, we prioritise emotional well-being and holistic development. Beyond the classroom, students can access enriching activities including Forest School, theatre trips, and the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
We are deeply committed to community engagement, regularly hosting parent events, supporting charities, and working closely with local primary schools and organisations.
At Lift Wishmore, we empower every student to thrive — academically, emotionally, and socially — and to build a positive and successful future.
