Please note: Independent schools frequently offer IGCSEs or other qualifications alongside or as an alternative to GCSE. The DfE does not record performance data for these exams so independent school GCSE data is frequently misleading; parents should check the results with the schools.

Special Education Needs

Halton School is an approved independent school providing an educational provision for day pupils aged 7-14. All pupils attending Halton School have been diagnosed as having Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties. In particular the school specialises in working with children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. Each pupil has an Individual Education Programme enabling the school to offer access to the full National Curriculum including Modern Foreign Languages at an age-appropriate, differentiated level. Halton School is proud of its unique location; a converted chapel which we feel is a perfect setting for our therapeutic educational environment, creating a nurturing provision. The pupils at Halton School also participate in an extensive Outdoor Education programme as part of the curriculum offered here, which includes canoeing, ski-ing, climbing and abseiling.
