Rocklands is a primary special school for pupils with severe, moderate, profound and complex learning difficulties, many of whom are on the autistic spectrum. There are two separate classes for pupils with the most complex autistic needs and a separate group in the mornings for those with the most complex and profound learning needs. The school shares its campus with the Gateway Nursery which is managed by the governors and senior leadership team of Rocklands. Charnwood Primary School, Lichfield Dyslexia Centre, Families First and the Children’s Centre are also on this site. The headteacher was appointed in January 2013. The school provides outreach support, on behalf of the local authority, for pupils with special educational needs in local mainstream schools. Pupils attend the school from Lichfield and surrounding areas. The majority are White British. Approximately a third of pupils are supported by the pupil premium. This is extra funding to help pupils in this school who are looked after by the local authority or eligible for free school meals.
