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.

@thesheilingringwood college students enjoyed a visit to Poole Museum. On the way, they had the opportunity to meet PCSO Jake @dorset_police helping students to recognise safer strangers in the community and learn more about how the emergency services are there to provide support if needed. Students and staff then spent time exploring the museum's exhibits, artwork and interactive activities. There was plenty to see, do and discover. A rewarding day enjoyed by everyone. #school #college #residential #day #healthandtherapies #SEND #dorset #hampshire #75years #community
