Maintained special schools in Hillingdon

In Hillingdon, there are a number of maintained, non-maintained (special schools operated by charities or trustees on a not-for-profit basis) and independent special schools (schools privately run) that provide support for a range of special education needs.

These each provide support to children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) in different ways. The type of school or setting that is best-suited to a particular child or young person will often depend on the complexity of their needs. 

In general, special schools provide education for children with multiple and/or more complex special educational needs and disabilities. Special schools provide adapted and different education to support young people through their education to ensure that they achieve the specific outcomes they have identified, with the aim of working towards independence.
