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.

Today, two of our fantastic school teachers are attending the @schoolsandacademies_show SEND Conference, where they are exploring key themes around inclusive practice, current reforms, and the challenges, insights and tools that support effective provision for students with SEND. Attending events like this helps @thesheilingringwood share outstanding practice, stay connected with likeminded professionals who are committed to improving outcomes for all students, and bring valuable learning back to our school community. #saashow #school #college #day #residential #healthandtherapies #Dorset #Hampshire #specialeducation #75years
