## About

Utopia is an independent special school for boys and girls aged 13-16 who need a small, structured and nurturing environment to flourish. We have created a calm and collaborative environment in which students feel happy and safe. This is our number 1 priority, after all effective learning can only take place when students are settled enough to access it.
