Welcome to The Sheiling Ringwood
Set in a stunning, sustainable and eco-friendly 45-acre site close to the New Forest and Dorset coastline, the natural surroundings of our school and college provide a rich, enabling and therapeutic learning environment for students, aged 5-25, who have a special educational need.
We specialise in autism and communication difficulties, severe and complex learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge.
Our mission is to create an educational, therapeutic community and environment, which upholds each person's human integrity and spiritual wholeness and where every child and young person, both because of and despite their individual challenges, has something to give and something to learn through all of their relationships with others.

Katie, our Head of Health and Therapies, recently attended the @health.sciences.university Undergraduate Courses Stakeholder Event, hosted by Dr Claire Nadaf, Head of Engagement and Partnerships at HSU. Building on our strong partnership with the university, the event provided a valuable opportunity to share professional insights on developing high-quality student placements, explore the skills, values and attributes needed by future health and therapy practitioners, and contribute to shaping the next generation of allied health professionals and healthcare leaders. #school #college #day #residential #healthandtherapies #Dorset #Hampshire #specialeducation #75years
