Our main building is in two Victorian houses with a large extension. This forms both home and the school, creating a lovely, homely environment with all the faciltiies on one site. This makes accessibility to both the educational spaces and living spaces simple and easy for our students.
The school environment is comprised of 4 purpose-built classrooms on the ground floor of the building. A maximum of 3 students are taught per class.
The classrooms are cosy, yet comfortable, with all of the required facilities, equipment and technology our students and teachers may require during lessons.
The indoor classrooms are for teaching Art, Science, Music and Maths, plus in our school garden, we have a lovely outdoor classroom overlooking the scenic Kendal countryside. The outdoor classroom is mainly for teaching English, offering lovely views for our students.

Celebrating Success
We enjoy celebrating the work and successes of our students, and we ensure that work is showcased on our 'Good work wall' and displayed in and around our corridors for everyone to admire.
