Welcome to Hazel Court.

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for visiting our website. I'm proud to introduce Hazel Court, a school where we place our students at the heart of everything we do.

Hazel Court is a special school for young people aged 11 to 19 with a range of learning difficulties, including autism. We provide a warm, supportive environment where every student is valued, respected, and encouraged to achieve their best—both in and out of the classroom.

I take immense pride in witnessing the passion and enthusiasm enveloping the Hazel Court community – from students and staff to parents. I am genuinely excited about the prospects that lie ahead. Hazel Court is full of fun and energy and to truly appreciate what makes our school so special we encourage you to visit us and meet the extraordinary community of people who work, learn and play here. The door is open, and one thing is certain: you will find a warm, inclusive, and supportive community here.

Our dedicated team works closely with families, carers, and other professionals to build a learning experience that suits each individual. We focus on developing life skills, confidence, independence, and communication, alongside academic learning, to help our students prepare for the next stage in their lives. What truly sets Hazel Court apart is the strong, personal connection we build with every pupil. Our dedicated and experienced staff bring passion, energy, and compassion into every classroom.

I’m continually inspired by our students—their energy, their progress, and their achievements. Whether they’re taking part in creative projects, gaining work experience, or building friendships, it’s a privilege to see them grow each day.

If you’d like to know more about Hazel Court or arrange a visit, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

 

Warm regards,
