Our Classes
Our students are aged from 5 years to 21 years old.
We currently have 13 classes over 5 different sites. Find out more about our classes.
Being on the host school's site enables our students access to their facilities, with the support of our specialist staff. Our students, while still getting the Specialist input from our Base Campus, have opportunities for inclusion with their peers in the mainstream setting, both within the classroom and the playground.
