Springfield House is a Birmingham LA day special school.
Our provision is targeted to meet the special educational needs of young people, aged 5 -11, who experience social, emotional and mental health difficulties.
In previous settings our pupils have exhibited behaviours that’s challenge, which are frequently associated with a wide range of complex conditions, including ASC, ADHD and Attachment Disorder. They have also experienced significant disruption to their education due to multiple school moves, fixed term and permanent exclusions and long periods of part-time or no placement in a school.
We provide a nurturing environment, where we support children to develop strategies to manage their responses appropriately. We seek to celebrate successes and achievements to build self-confidence and esteem, whilst allowing space and time to reflect on the issues that prevent their full social inclusion.
