Welcome to Winchelsea School

Winchelsea is a community special school committed to meeting the needs of pupils with a wide range of learning difficulties. We are heavily over-subscribed and our 125 pupils, aged 4–16, are supported by just over 80 staff. We will also offer satellite provision for 24 pupils at Old Town Infant School and Canford Heath Junior School. In addition, we also offer Post 16 provision through an innovative collaboration with Bournemouth & Poole College.

We have a committed, knowledgeable and experienced staff team and we pride ourselves on creating bespoke packages for pupils which meet their individual needs and prepare them for life. We strongly believe we have created a safe, welcoming and inspiring environment which allows our children to feel secure and be successful.

We are passionate about improving outcomes for our pupils and we work very closely with families, outside agencies and organisations to facilitate this. To provide further support, we also provide an outreach service to a wide range of local schools.

Thank you for visiting our website. If you would like any further information or a tour of our school, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Geoff Cherrill, Headteacher.
