Rossbourne School is an educational facility designed to fulfil the specific needs of students who have experienced difficulties in other schools. Most of our students have found it difficult to adapt to the educational and social demands, of mainstream education. Many of them have an identifiable learning disorder. The school is noted for its commitment to providing a curriculum tailored to suit the individual needs of students. Our Individual Education Programs are developed, implemented and monitored by specialist staff on an ongoing basis, in partnership with each student.
Choosing a school is an important, yet sometimes difficult and daunting process. An important consideration is that the school can match the needs and expectations of the student and family. The following pages of our website provide an insight into life at Rossbourne, and the achievements and successes of our students.
Throughout each year I have the opportunity to meet many prospective parents and visitors to the School. Our visitors comment on ‘a special feeling’ within Rossbourne. The best way to learn about a school is to see it in action. I invite you to visit us and discover for yourself the advantages Rossbourne can offer your child.
