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.

Always a huge hit! This week, @thesheilingringwood school students were joined by @rocksteadymusicschool, for music-based activities. Music is a fantastic resource for education, wellbeing, promoting confidence and having a lot of fun! Students had an incredible day and we discovered many budding superstars again this year! #school #college #residential #day #healthandtherapies #community #dorset #hampshire #specialeducation
