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 we are delighted to share some exciting news. Following the success of our 2025 school build project 'Parsifal', we are now introducing 'Taurus' - a new double-classroom build for Sheiling College. This new space will allow us to offer additional college places from September 2026. We look forward to sharing updates with you as the Taurus project progresses! #newdoubleclassroom #school #college #day #residential #healthandtherapies #SEND #specialeducation #dorset #hampshire
