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.

Students at @thesheilingringwood embraced Michaelmas courage challenges across our woodland site, from hunting for a dragon egg to tackling a river obstacle walk. A fantastic opportunity to have plenty of fun, work together and try something new. #school #college #residential #day #healthandtherapies #SEND #dorset #hampshire #75years #community
