From the Heritage House School
For 70 students, Heritage House is a special school. Since we are an all-through school with three unique phases, learners can enrol in our Early Years programme as early as three years old, and we can continue to fulfil their evolving needs as they become older and prepare for adulthood. Although we'd want to keep them in our engaging practical skills classes for a while longer, our oldest students are 19 years old. A group of people with severe, deep, and complicated disabilities, our students are neurodiverse. Our staff team is multidisciplinary to give them the best education possible. Heritage House School assembles a highly qualified learning and teaching staff around the learner in an effort to place them at the centre of a rights-respecting school community.
