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.

We are delighted to share Sheiling College's involvement in the 2026 City University of New York (CUNY) Neurodiversity Conference, "Fostering Neurodivergent Joy in Higher Education: Reimagining Learning, Belonging, and Success." We are especially proud that college teacher Ceri presented online alongside one of her students as a copresenter - a fantastic achievement and wonderful experience. Their presentation, "Finding His Voice: Neurodivergent Joy, Music, and the Transformative Power of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)," received positive feedback, including from Dr Rachel Harrison, Senior Lecturer in Health and Social Care at the University of Winchester: "I just wanted to say you were both GREAT just now! What you both did was the absolute epitome of shared joy - I'm feeling on a real high!" #school #college #residential #day #healthandtherapies #SEND #dorset #hampshire #75years
