About Ingfield Manor School
Ingfield Manor School
Ingfield Manor School is for pupils aged 3–19 with neurological motor impairment such as cerebral palsy. Our pupils have a range of abilities and associated learning difficulties arising from cerebral palsy.
Acknowledged as one of the leading centres for Conductive Education in the UK, we have a national reputation for our work developing communication.
The school offers a nursery, day school places and weekly residential places.
Manor School is a nationally recognised, non-maintained day and weekly residential special school for children and young people between the ages of three and 19 years. We cater for up to 70 students and have 15 weekly residential and overnight places.
The aim of Ingfield Manor School has always been the same; to provide an exceptional learning environment for children and young people with neurological motor impairments, such as cerebral palsy. Some of our students also have additional needs like visual impairment and more complex medical needs.
Our curriculum is stimulating and diverse and delivered through Conductive Education, and we are acknowledged as one of the leading centres for this education system in the UK. Progress is not only seen in terms of National Curriculum learning but also personal independence, social and emotional confidence, communication skills and the development of motor skills. Pupils and students are additionally involved in their own learning through personal education plans.
