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.

A huge thank you to everyone that supported our 2025 Transitions Pathway Event. Students and their families welcomed the opportunity to explore options that could follow the completion of their time at Sheiling College. A fantastic event, with local and national organisations joining us to share their services. The platform to engage with providers from education and day opportunities through to supported living all at one event is wonderful. We look forward to our Transitions Pathway Event 2026! #school #college #transitions #SEND #specialeducation #dorset #hampshire #FuturePathways
