Spring Hill School is a learning environment. Our mission is to provide a curriculum of care and education within an environment adapted for young people who have learning difficulties and challenging behaviour. The school aims to equip young people with the skills, knowledge and experiences and attitudes which will enable them to participate in and become valued members of society.

All that we do at Spring Hill School is underpinned by Barnardo’s Basis and Values.
