School Description

The Lindfield School is a special school for pupils with moderate learning difficulties, severe learning difficulties, autistic spectrum conditions and social, communication and associated learning difficulties. All pupils are supported by a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan. The majority of pupils are of White British heritage and a much smaller proportion speak English as an additional language. There are approximately twice as many boys as girls. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for support through the pupil premium (additional government funding for pupils who qualify for free school meals or are in the care of the local authority) is well above average. Since the time of the last inspection, the collaborative arrangements between The Lindfield School and the South Downs Special School have been formalised. This means that there is now a single governing body and an executive headteacher that provide leadership for both schools.
