## About

Springwell School is a primary school for children aged 4 – 11 years with complex learning difficulties. Most of our children have a severe level of learning difficulties, and many have associated disabilities such as autism, speech and language disorders, sensory difficulties which can lead to high levels of dysregulation, anxiety, and challenging behaviour.
