About St Elizabeth's School
Welcome
St Elizabeth's School is a Specialist School for young people aged 7 - 19 years. We offer a warm, welcoming, safe and secure environment for children from all over the UK.
We are more than just an epilepsy school!
The School is a centre of expertise in supporting and educating young people with moderate or severe learning difficulties (MLD/SLD), profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) or other complex neurological conditions potentially caused or complicated by epilepsy. Our Multi-Disciplinary Teams, in partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital, equip the School to serve a wide range of complex needs such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), language and communication needs or challenging behaviours.
As either a residential or day pupil, every young person we welcome to our School is unique and valued. Our integrated care, therapeutic and academic provision is planned around the individual and delivered through a seamless, coordinated and consistent waking day curriculum, either in the classrooms or in our residential accommodation, available all year round.
Supporting pupils to make progress and develop independence skills is at the heart of everything we do, providing a safe and caring environment in which they can achieve their fullest potential.
St Elizabeth’s maintains as a Roman Catholic School, but we are fully inclusive and welcome children from all faiths or of no religion. Religious Education and our Christian ethos is taught by all teachers, and supported by our Catholic Ethos Advocate. Our Centre chapel is used frequently for Mass and our many prayer rooms give anyone the opportunity for quiet reflection throughout the day. If they choose, children can be prepared to receive their First Holy Communion and the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Ethos, Aims & Values
Weekly assemblies form the focus of our Religious Education, with all children being given the opportunity to organise and participate on a regular basis.
