Merstone is a vibrant, inclusive special school for pupils with severe and complex learning difficulties, aged from 2-19 years. Ofsted judged the school to be Outstanding (2011, 2014, 2017 and 2023). We are federated with Forest Oak School, for pupils with MLD, with whom we share a campus. We have a well-resourced building.
