From the Fort Royal
We are a primary special education community school located in the centre of Worcester.
I sincerely hope you will enjoy the experience and learn more about our school's culture.
An evaluation nursery and four reception classes in the early years make up the school's sections.
The diverse curriculum and culture of each phase enable students to advance through the institution.
We take great pride in serving all students in our area of the County who have an Education, Health and Care Plan that specifies the need for a specialist placement.
Our staff-to-student ratio enables as needed small group and individual work in each lesson.
Several more experts who have a background in education support us.
All of these experts provide a crucial service to the school and each student's individualised programme.
We have strong ties to the neighbourhood and are lucky to have a vibrant Friends of Fort Royal club that plans a variety of social and fundraising activities.
A hydrotherapy pool, sensory-specific spaces, and amazing, expansive outdoor learning environments, both within the school grounds and adjacent to individual courses, are just a few of our outstanding facilities.
Please get in touch with the school office if you want to visit our campus; we'll be pleased to help.
