Springfield School is a special school for Early Years, primary and secondary age children who have been identified as having Severe or Profound Learning Difficulties. We currently have 104 pupils on roll and all our pupils have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

We believe in creating opportunities for both pupils and staff to succeed in their own goals. It is essential for us to work closely with parents, carers and other professionals to promote support for everyone and sharing of good practice.

We strongly believe in the benefits of integration and inclusion to all, and our Early Years and Primary classes are co-located with Madley Brook Community Primary School in a uniquely integrated and purpose-built site. Our Secondary classes are also located in a purpose-built building adjacent to the Wood Green Secondary School site. We work hard to promote inclusive activities with our partner schools and the wider community.
