Shenstone School is an all-through specialist school for children and young people with severe and/or profound and multiple learning difficulties.  Although we currently have a temporary facility for our secondary students, a specially adapted secondary school is currently being built in Halt Robin Road, Belvedere.  We opened our doors to our secondary provision in September 2022 when we welcomed our first cohort of pupils and we now currently have one year 8 and two year 7 classes. 

Our staff are passionate about providing our students with the best learning opportunities. Working in partnership with parents and carers, we successfully foster and develop a positive attitude in our young people and support them to have opportunities that will allow them to achieve beyond their expectations. The support and guidance students receive from staff give them the confidence to learn independently and strive to achieve their most aspirational outcomes.  The school positions itself as a centre of excellence for its students, parents/carers, staff, local authorities and the wider community.
