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.

World Mental Health Day is a reminder of the importance of good mental health and the need to prioritise and invest in good mental health. It's also a day to let people know that it's okay to ask for help. This year's theme set by the World Federation of Mental Health is 'access to services - mental health in catastrophes and emergencies'. @mentalhealthfoundation @thesheilingringwood https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/.../world-mental-health-day https://www.nhs.uk/oneyou/every-mind-matters/ https://wellbeingandcoping.net https://www.steps2wellbeing.co.uk/ #mentalhealthawareness #wellbeing #community #WorldMentalHealthDay2025
